👋🏼 Hello there, I’m Banghao Chi!

👨🏻‍💻 I’m a senior undergraduate student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a strong focus on computer science and machine learning systems.

📚 Currently, I’m working on my thesis focusing on Dynamic and Static Precision Quantization for High-Efficiency 3D Object Detection under the guidance of Prof. Minjia Zhang. Through this research, we’ve achieved a 35% reduction in inference time while maintaining model accuracy.

🤖 At the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), I’m working with Dr. Kevin Chang on developing advanced assessment frameworks using Large Language Models, exploring ways to make AI systems more efficient and interpretable.

📽️ I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and helping others in their Machine Learning journey. As a Course Assistant for CS 409 at UIUC, I develop tools and resources to enhance the learning experience of fellow students.

🎓 Prior to UIUC, I studied Computer Science at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University, where I maintained a GPA of 3.92/4.0 and received multiple academic excellence awards. During my time there, I worked with Prof. Xiaohui Zhu on developing LLMarking, an innovative automatic short answer grading system. This project showcased the practical applications of Large Language Models in education, achieving impressive F1 scores of 90.5% and 86.1% on computer science and finance datasets respectively.
