Derrick Quinn

Derrick Quinn is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL) at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, where he is advised by Professor Mohammad Alian. His research interests are centered around algorithm-hardware co-design of distributed and heterogeneous computer systems. Currently, he focuses on semantic retrieval systems leveraging near-data processing techniques for improved efficiency. Derrick's goal is to develop generalized and scalable architectures for AI systems, promoting interoperability, adaptability, and sustainability across diverse computing environments.
