I am a first-year PhD student in Computer and
Information Sciences at Towson University, advised
by Prof. Yifan Guo. My research is primarily in
distributed machine learning, specifically making
federated learning efficient for resource constrained edge devices.
During my Master’s degree, I worked on Edge AI systems,
studying energy, power, and performance trade offs on real hardware platforms. I explored the
deployment of quantized large language models on edge devices using instrumented
Raspberry Pi testbeds with thermal and power monitoring.
My current research extends this line of work from single device optimization to distributed
federated learning settings. I focus on federated learning for heterogeneous edge devices, with
particular interest in adaptive compression techniques and space efficient
parameter encoding
methods to reduce communication overhead while preserving learning performance.
