Richard Fan

Hi! I am a 4B Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo.

Currently, I am interning at NVIDIA as a Software Engineer on the GPU Kernel team. Previously, I interned at

Google (LLM Fine-Tuning & Knowledge Distillation)
TuSimple (Perception for Autonomous Trucks)
Huawei Canada (Low-Latency C++)

I’ve had the previledge of working with

Prof. Wenhu Chen (LLM Benchmarking & Video Generation)
Pref. Yaoliang Yu (Data Poisoning & Privacy Protection)
Prof. Alexander Wong (Copyright Infringement Detection)
Prof. Jimmy Lin (Embedding Extraction)
Prof. Yash Pant (F1tenth Autonomous Racing)

My research interest lies in

Controllable Deep Generative Models (text to image/video) while preserving creativity
Alignment algorithms for Large Multi-Modal Models

I’ve been a huge sports fan my entire life. Soccer, Football, Basketball, Hockey, swimming, tennis, pingpong are some of my favorites.

Fun fact: I am a 5 Dan Go player (started playing since primary school). AlphaGo sparked my passion to understand intelligence.
