Xiaoyi Qu is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University, under the supervision of Prof. Daniel P. Robinson. His research focuses on two primary directions: (i) the development and theoretical analysis of first-order methods for solvinig constrained structured optimization problems, and (ii) the design of pruning and quantization methodologies aimed at mitigating storage and inference inefficiencies in large-scale language models. In 2024, he worked as a research intern with Microsoft's Applied Sciences Group (ASG), where his work centered on joint pruning and quantization techniques. Prior to this, he was an acoustic test intern at Neusoft Medical in 2019.

I am originally from northeastern China.
I am a big fan of Cantonese roast duck and once drove 2 hours just to pick one up from a local store.
Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming a geologist, partly for the chance to travel across the nation for free.
