Warren 朱富橙

I'm a senior at Harvard University. Born and raised in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. I am excited about building agentic systems that bring people joy. I have also been interested in Large Scale Machine Learning. For more formal details, you can view my resume.

Education

Harvard University (Class of 2026)
- B.A. in Computer Science
- B.A. in Statistics
- M.S. in Statistics

Projects

I’m exploring multi-agent systems through 14 Days of Agents, a project focused on building and understanding agentic workflows.
I’m working on the standardization of fault tolerance protocols for distributed ML. In pursuit of this goal, I’ve experimented with a prototype through torchLoom, a controller for distributed ML on top of PyTorch, while also contributing to torchFT to improve the fault tolerance of distributed ML systems.

Courses Taken at Harvard

Here are the technical courses I’ve taken at Harvard. Within each area listed in order of their influence on me. 200s are Graduate Coureses. Hopefully this is helpful for other students. Feel free to reach out about any of these courses.

Research

I did Harvard’s SPUDS during Summer 2024, sponsored by the great Xiao-Li Meng and under the incredible mentorship of Connor Jerzak. It is upcoming in clear2025.

Teaching

Fall 2024: Course Assisstant for Stat188 (Variations, Information, and Privacy) under Prof. Xiao-Li Meng, working with the wonderful Graduate Teaching Assistant Kyla Chasalow. Spring 2025: Course Assisstant for Stat111 under Prof. Joe Blitzstein.

Other Hobbies

I went to Harrow International School Hong Kong, where I did not care too much about STEM and had very fond memories in History, Drama, English, Music, and playing Rugby.

I had a lot of free time on my hand during COVID and spent a lot of time reading continental philosophy (Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Hegel, Kant, etc.). I won the Trinity College Philosophy Essay Prize for my essay on Social Media and Hannah Arendt’s Concept of Solitude. I was also highly commended in the Philosophy section of the John Locke Essay Prize for an essay on Heidegger and Morality.

I am a sucker for Wong Kar-wai movies and love Twin Peaks as well as Brideshead Revisited.
