Shangyin Tan

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley EECS working with Professor Koushik Sen and Matei Zaharia in the Programming System Group and the Sky Lab. My research interests center around programming languages and compound AI system.

Previously

I was a student researcher at Google DeepMind (legacy Google Brain), collaborating with [Dan Zheng](https://danzheng.me/), [Ningning Xie](https://xnning.github.io/), and [Gordon Plotkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Plotkin). I did my undergrad at Purdue University, working with [Guannan Wei](http://continuation.passing.style/) and [Tiark Rompf](http://tiarkrompf.github.io/) on building symbolic execution compilers with staging.

Outside of my hacking job, I am an hiker/backpacker, trail runner, and alpine skier.

I am open to collaborating on a few projects. Feel free to drop me an email, especially if you are an undergrad! Find me at \(\text{shangyin}\ at\ \text{berkeley.edu}\), Twitter, or Github. Here is my CV (last updated Aug 20, 2023).
