Hi there! I’m Qi Li, a CS PhD student at Tsinghua University, and I also serve as a visiting student at HKUST-GZ. I received my Master’s degree from Tsinghua University, and my Bachelor’s degree in computer science from Lanzhou University.

My current research interests focus on:

Efficient algorithm for LLM: PEFT, Knowledge Editing
Post-training of LLM
Machine learning systems for LLM
Understanding LLM from both theoretical and empirical perspectives

I’m open to collaboration and discussion. Feel free to reach out via email!
