My name is Bodun Hu (though I usually go by Edward). I'm a PhD student at UT Austin, majoring in Computer Science. I'm fortunately to be advised by Aditya Akella at UTNS lab. I'm also working as a Student Researcher at Meta's Superintelligence Lab (MSL).

My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, operating systems, and network. I'm passionate about building high‑performance systems for ML.

I earned both my M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from UT Austin. Before starting my PhD, I worked with Christopher Rossbach in the SCEA lab, focsuing on GPU benchmarking and developing methods to enable OS kernel access to accelerators.

I've also been very fortunate to intern with Theo Jepsen and Georgios Nikolaidis at Intel. I also interned with Meta's AI and Systems Co-design team developing efficient communication collectives for LLM training under the supervision of Ching-Hsiang Chu.
