Hi there! My name is Krishna Teja Chitty-Venkata. I am a Machine Learning Research Engineer at Red Hat. I work primarily on efficient LLM inference. Prior to Red Hat, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Argonne National Laboratory (US Department of Energy, Office of Science). I obtained my PhD at Iowa State University.
Broadly, I am interested in optimizing Deep Learning models on Hardware accelerators.
