Guannan Wei
I’m a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Purdue University, working with Tiark Rompf. I’m interested in programming languages, functional programming, metaprogramming, and program analysis. I’m also a member of the Purdue’s Programming Languages (PurPL) group.
Previously I received M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Utah, under Matt Might’s research group. I majored in Laws and Business Management as an undergraduate at the China University of Geosciences, Beijing.
I was an intern at SambaNova Systems (Summer 2020, remotely), Galois (Summer 2018, Portland), Baidu (Fall 2013, Beijing), and two tech-startups (2012-2013, 2014-2015, Beijing).
I like photography, check out my gallery and Instagram. I’m also interested in economics, Austrian Economics, and astronomy.
In my Blog, I occasionally take notes of what I read, collect interesting and elegant programs, or share personal thoughts.
