Arshad Ahmed — Computer Science Ph.D Scholar

Profile

I am a Computer Science PhD student fascinated by the challenge of making large language models practical. My work focuses on model compression and efficient AI, with interests in quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, and scalable machine learning systems. Beyond research, I enjoy building software from scratch and exploring the intersection of algorithms, systems, and artificial intelligence.
