Haoran Qiu

Systems Researcher
Ph.D. in Computer Science

Microsoft Azure Research

I joined Microsoft Azure Research – Systems (AzRS), focusing on systems for AI efficiency.
  • ➪ Reliable and efficient agentic workflow serving: Sherlock, Murakkab
  • ➪ Fine-grained provisioning and scaling for generative model serving at scale: OpScale
  • ➪ Efficient multimodal model serving: ModServe (input) and StreamWise (generation)
  • ➪ Long-context LLM serving at multi-million token scale: Medha
I completed a PhD in Computer Science at UIUC, advised by Prof. Ravishankar K. Iyer . My dissertation focuses on designing and integrating learning-based solutions seamlessly (i.e., with efficiency, robustness, and reliability) into production cloud systems:
  • ➪ [ATC24, AIOps24, SoCC24] Energy-efficient, SLO-aware interactive LLM serving
  • ➪ [ATC23, NeurIPS23, MLSys24] Robust, at-scale ML model deployment in cloud systems
  • ➪ [SoCC22, NeurIPS22] Multi-tenant serverless computing resource management
  • ➪ [OSDI20, DSN24] Sustainable, intelligent, and resilient microservices resource management

I was a recipient of the inaugural 2023 ML Systems Rising Stars by MLCommons.

In the past, I have worked with IBM Research, Google SRG, Google DeepMind, and Microsoft Research. Before joining UIUC, I got my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong. I worked with Prof. Heming Cui at the HKU Systems Software Group.

You can find my CV here (Aug. 2024).
