Chenfeng Xu

I am a tenure-track assistant professor at UT Austin CS Department. I obtained my Ph.D degree at UC Berkeley in 2025, fortunately advised by Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka (ME department) and Prof. Kurt Keutzer (EECS department).

My research interests lie at the intersection between Efficient Machine Learning and AI Systems.

I recruit 1-2 Ph.D. students this year. I am so sorry that I can't reply all the emails, please directly apply here.
