Hi, I'm Yuyang, currently a 5th-year Ph.D. candidate in the ISE department at Rutgers University. My advisor is Prof. Farzad Yousefian. My research spans federated learning, hierarchical optimization, as well as distributed optimization over networks. I am currently interested on integrating federated learning with foundation models, where I aim to develop memory and communication-efficient FL for foundation models.
