Maryam Haghifam Hey! I am Maryam Haghifam, a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, advised by Prof. Yizhou Sun. My research interests include efficient inference for large language models (e.g., speculative decoding, early-exit, multi-token prediction) and long-context LLMs. I received my MSc in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, where I worked on systems for machine learning. I earned a BSc in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Engineering from the University of Tehran. |
