EcoAI Lab: We name our lab "EcoAI" to emphasize our commitment to addressing AI system Efficiency challenges through an interdisciplinary approach that bridges algorithms and hardware via co-design. Our mission is to develop efficient and eco-friendly AI systems that can be deployed across a wide spectrum of computing platforms, ranging from resource-constrained edge devices to large-scale cloud infrastructures. We address fundamental challenges in making advanced AI accessible, sustainable, and practical by advancing principled model compression, hardware-aware optimization, and computer architecture design methodologies.
