Summary
Ting-wu Chin is a quantitative researcher with 11 years of engineering and research experience, currently applying deep learning and optimization expertise at Citadel Securities after completing a Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon focused on efficient, resource-constrained convolutional neural networks. He has a strong track record of turning research into practical speedups—e.g., an 8x faster model compression method during a Microsoft internship and a 20x performance improvement on a face-swap system—alongside multiple research internships at Facebook AI and Reality Labs. Equally comfortable in academia and industry, he combines rigorous theoretical work with hands-on systems engineering across model pruning, quantization, and deployment. Based in Miami, he maintains an active research homepage and GitHub that reflect a sustained focus on Pareto-efficient model design and real-world performance gains.
