About
I am an Assistant Professor at the Microelectronics Thrust of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) , and a member of Deep Vision Lab. Previously, I was a Senior Research Scientist at Huawei Hong Kong Research Center. I received my Ph.D. degree in 2020 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong advised by Prof. Bei Yu. My research interests are on the cross-disciplinary study of electronic design automation (EDA) and machine learning, including agile VLSI design methodologies, machine learning-aided VLSI design, and hardware-friendly machine learning. I am a recipient of the Best Paper Awards at MLCAD 2023, ICCAD 2021, ASPDAC 2021, and ICTAI 2019.

I am always looking for motivated graduate students and research assistants with background in computer science, software engineering, electronic engineering, or mathematics. If you are interested, please email me with a copy of your CV and transcript.
