Jacob Xiaochen Li

I’m a PhD student at MIT (EECS/CSAIL) advised by Prof. Omar Khattab.

My goal is building AI systems that are reliable and scalable by construction, and that produce utility in practice.

I completed my Master’s in Computer Science at Brown University, where I was fortunate to be advised by the amazing Prof. Stephen Bach and Prof. Michael Littman. Before, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego with highest distinction. I had the privilege of working in Prof. Hao Su’s Lab and Prof. Sicun Gao’s group. I spend three years as HPC research engineer at San Diego Supercomputer Center under Dr. Mary Thomas’ supervision. I founded Supercomputing @ UCSD and served as the President during 2019-2022.
