Hanfei Yu (余涵非)

Greetings! I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at Stevens Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Hao Wang.

I received my Master’s Degree in Computer Science and Systems at University of Washington Tacoma, advised by Dr. Wes J. Lloyd and Dr. Athirai A. Irissappane. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

I was a Research Intern at Microsoft Azure Research and Microsoft 365 Research.

I am the recipient of various academic awards, including SoCC’24 Best Paper Award and SC’24 Best Student Paper Finalist. I was selected as one of the 2025 MLCommons ML and Systems Rising Stars.

My research interests lie in AI Systems, LLM Serving, RL(HF) Systems, and Serverless Computing. I develop full-stack AI systems that integrate cloud and HPC infrastructures through algorithm–system co-design:

• [SoCC’25, VLDB’25, SC’24 (Best Student Paper Finalist), AAAI’24, In-submission-1] Distributed RL(HF) systems
• [SoCC’24 (Best Paper Award), TPDS’25, In-submission-2] Serverless inference for Deep Learning, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) systems
• [EuroSys’26, In-submission-3] Efficient MoE and Multimodal LLM serving systems
• [ASPLOS’24, TPDS’24, HPDC’23, WWW’22, ACSOS’21] Resource management and function scheduling for serverless computing
• [In-submission-4] Novel attack and defense mechanisms in serverless computing
