Top SchoolSidharth Babu is a graduate research assistant in CMU's ECE program with eight years of engineering experience focused on ML systems, compiler toolchains, and GPU/kernel-level performance for on-device and data-center inference. He collaborates with Professor Tianqi Chen and the Catalyst group on open-source ML compiler work and GPU kernel development, bringing practical R&D experience from internships at Keysight and Adobe that spanned RDMA, NCCL benchmarking, and Linux kernel modules.
