Teaching Assistant, CSCE 120 (Go Section)
Continuing as a teaching assistant in Fall 2026 for the CSCE 120 Go section with Dr. Philip Ritchey.
Ieuze Shen
Computer Science student at Texas A&M University building efficient training, inference, and agentic systems. My work spans distributed LLM serving, graph-based retrieval and reasoning, and real-time autonomous systems.
CV
Experience Highlights
Large Language Model Research
Working with Dr. Yu Zhang on Graph RAG for graph-structured retrieval and reasoning. Exploring agent planning, tool-calling validation, controllable reasoning, reinforcement-learning failure recovery, and embedding-based semantic analysis.
ML Systems Engineering
Optimized MLPerf LLM training and inference on Grace and ACES clusters using TensorRT, Triton, vLLM, Ray, and MaxText. Worked on multi-node latency and throughput, telemetry pipelines, concurrent post-training, and ACTS tracking-software performance. Our team placed 5th globally at SC25 SCC.

Read source ↗Software Engineer Intern
Built an on-premise RAG system with Qwen-7B and Qanything for document question answering and permissioned retrieval, reducing internal document retrieval time by 90% for more than 100 employees. Also developed FastAPI safety-monitoring services and real-time data pipelines across corporate facilities.
Software & Machine Learning Internship
Developed real-time machine-learning quality control for calibration and anomaly detection. Co-developed a TensorFlow autoencoder for medical-image denoising, with a focus on reducing server CPU utilization.
Teaching & Peer Mentoring
Mentored 60+ students weekly in data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and C++. Created review videos and graded problem sets for discrete mathematics with Dr. Sandeep Kumar, alongside competitive-programming coaching.
