Design Automation
Domain-specific high-level synthesis and automated architecture generation.
Biography
I am a Professor with the School of Computer Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). My work explores efficient computer systems through specialized hardware, software–hardware co-design, and automation.
Before joining HUST, I was a Research Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, where I collaborated with Prof. Bingsheng He and Prof. Weng-Fai Wong. Earlier, I was a Senior Research Scientist at the Advanced Digital Sciences Center, a UIUC-affiliated research center in Singapore.
Research Areas
