Hantian Zhang

I am a first year Ph.D student advised by Ce Zhang at ETH Zurich. My research focus on speeding up machine learning systems and making them more accessible to users. Prior to joining ETH as a Ph.D student, I got my Master's degree in Computer Science at ETH Zurich in 2017 and my Bachelor's degree in Machine Intelligence at Peking University in 2014.
