Hanrui Wang

Incoming Assistant Professor, UCLA CS

About

I will join UCLA Computer Science in 2025-26 academic year as an Assistant Professor.

I am looking for motivated and technically strong PhD/Postdoc/Intern students to join my lab. If you are interested in efficient AI, Quantum, and GenAI, please feel free to fill out the form and shoot me an email.

Hanrui Wang received his PhD degree from MIT advised by Song Han. His research focuses on efficient AI and Quantum Computing. His work has been recognized by ACM SRC 1st Place Award, Best Poster Award at NSF AI Institute, Best Paper Award at QCE, and Best Paper Award at ICML RL4RL. He is the recipient of Qualcomm Fellowship, Unitary Fund, Nvidia Fellowship Finalist, Rising Star in ML and Systems, and Rising Star in ISSCC. He is the creator of TorchQuantum library which has been adopted by IBM and PyTorch Ecosystems, and the co-founder of QuCS lecture series for quantum education. He received B. Eng. degree with honors from Fudan University.
