Athanasios Glentis
Hello, welcome to my homepage! I am a first-year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Mingyi Hong.
Prior to this, I obtained my BSc & MEng degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), where I was lucky to work with Prof. Petros Maragos.
My current research interests include:
- Large Language Model Pretraining
- Parameter & Memory Efficient Training Algorithms
