Dongkuan (DK) Xu is an Assistant Professor in the CS Department at NC State and leads the NCSU Generative Intelligent Computing Lab. His research is fundamentally grounded in advancing Artificial General Intelligence, particularly the automated planning, reliable reasoning, and efficient computing of generative AI systems. He has been honored with the Microsoft Accelerating Foundation Models Research Award 2024, the NCSU Carla Savage Award 2024, and the Best Paper Award of ICCCN 2023. DK’s research has been published repeatedly in top conferences and journals in AI, NLP, CV, Hardware, and other fields. He serves as the Column Editor for the ACM SIGAI Newsletter and will chair the 1st Workshop on Dataset Distillation for Computer Vision at CVPR 2024. In the past, he chaired the 1st Workshop on Deep Learning-Hardware Co-Design for AI Acceleration at AAAI 2023, the Resource Efficient Learning for Knowledge Discovery Workshop at KDD 2023, the session of New Deep Learning Architectures at KDD 2022, and the session of Scalable & Trustable AI at KDD 2022. In addition, DK has served as the panelist, area chair, (senior) PC member, and regular reviewer for the NSF program and over forty major conferences and journals. DK also has extensive research experience in the industry. He has been collaborating with Google DeepMind, Microsoft Research, Moffett AI, and NEC Labs America, and holds multiple US patents. DK's long-term research goal is to liberate AI productivity and democratize its application to serve a broader range of populations and real-world applications, equally, sustainably, and responsibly.
