About

I’m Yifan (亦凡) Yuan (袁), and I work at Meta Platform AI Systems Co-Design team on future compute/AI infra systems architecture.

Before that, I spent two years at Intel Labs (Systems Architecture Lab) as a research scientist. Before that, I got PhD from ECE@UIUC (advised by Prof. Nam Sung Kim). I’m interested in computer architecture and system, especially building modern datacenter with emerging hardware and system software.

Before joining UIUC in 2017, I spent three years on my undergraduate study at Zhejiang University (ZJU), focusing on computer architecture and VLSI design.

I grew up in Tianjin, a city in China with spirit of humor and optimism. I enjoy badminton, hiking, and cooking.
