Research Scientist, AI & Systems Co-design (PhD)

Our teams’ mission is to explore, develop and help productionize high performance software & hardware technologies for AI at datacenter scale. We achieve this via concurrent design and optimization of many aspects of the system from models and runtime all the way to the AI hardware, optimizing across compute, network and storage. The team invests significantly into model optimization on existing accelerator systems and guiding the future of models and AI HW at Meta. This drives improved performance, new model architectures and reduces cost of ownership for all key AI services at FB: Recommendations and Generative AI. This is an exciting space that spans exploration and productionization, coupled with close collaborations with industry, academia, Meta’s Infrastructure and Product groups. Collaborating closely with product teams, the team's mode of operation is going from ideation and rapid prototyping, all the way to assisting productization of high leverage ideas, working with many partner teams to bring learnings from prototype into production. In addition to the real-world impact on billions of users of the Meta products, our team members have won Best Paper Awards at prestigious conferences such as ISCA, ASPLOS, SOSP, and OSDI, with multiple papers selected for IEEE Micro Top Picks. We regularly publish in ICML, NeurIPS, SC, HPCA, NSDI, VLDB, MLSys, and more. Overall, our work largely corresponds to the research communities of systems in general and especially systems for ML (MLSys, SOSP, OSDI, SIGCOMM, NSDI), hardware architecture (ISCA, ASPLOS), ML (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) and supercomputing (SC, ICS).
