Hui Guan

Hui Guan is an assistant professor at the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS). She received her PhD in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University in 2020. Guan is a member of the Programming Language and Systems at Massachusetts (PLASMA) lab at UMass.

Her research lies in the intersection between machine learning and programming systems, with an emphasis on improving the speed, scalability, and reliability of machine learning through innovations in algorithms and programming systems (e.g., compilers, runtime). She is also interested in leveraging machine learning to improve high performance computing. Guan's current research focuses on both algorithm and system optimizations of deep multitask learning and graph machine learning.

Hui's awards include NCSU ECE Distinguished Dissertation Award, NCSU, 2020 and IBM PhD Fellowship, IBM, 2015-2018
