Ruofan Wu

I am a third-year PhD candidate in CSE at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Mosharaf Chowdhury. I received my bachelor's and master's degrees from Renmin University of China, where I worked with Prof. Feng Zhang.

My research focuses on energy-efficient AI systems and compilers. I aim to reduce energy consumption while maximizing performance under power constraints. Because energy efficiency and performance are tightly coupled, my work explores their joint optimization, with a particular emphasis on GPU kernel scheduling.
