I am an assistant professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), working on computer architecture, AI-specific accelerator design, and AI performance optimization methods. Before joining SJTU, I received my Ph.D. degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University of Computer Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaoyao Liang. And I had the privilege of working closely with Prof. Li Jiang and Prof. Naifeng Jing during my PhD. My Bachelor degree is from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, where I was advised by Prof. Yu Hua. I have received the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award from the Shanghai Computer Society, the ACM Chinasys Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, and the Best Paper Award at DATE 2023 and DATE 2024. Up to now, I have published over 40 papers, including in top-tier architecture conferences and journals such as ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS, HPCA, DAC, TPDS, TCAD, and TACO.
