Yinwei Dai

I am a graduating Computer Science Ph.D. student (expected Dec. 2026) at Princeton University, working with Prof. Ravi Netravali. I am affiliated with Princeton Systems for AI Lab (SAIL).

I obtained my M.S.E. and B.S.E. in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, where I worked with Prof. Mosharaf Chowdhury and Prof. Harsha V. Madhyastha on networked systems, and a B.S.E. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My research lies at the intersection of systems and machine learning. I build efficient and scalable systems for serving/training AI through algorithm–system co-design—treating algorithms and the systems that run them as a joint design space, rather than two fixed layers. My work spans the growing landscape of pervasive AI: from monolithic models to compound agentic systems, and from digital to physical AI.
