Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Microelectronics Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). Before joining HKUST(GZ), I was a Principal Engineer at Hisilicon, working on next-generation DPUs. I received my Ph.D. in computer science from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2022, where I was supervised by Prof. Bingsheng He and collaborated closely with Prof. Weng-Fai Wong and Prof. Deming Chen.

I lead the Custom Computing Lab (CLab) at HKUST(GZ). Our group develops sustainable computing solutions for AI and big data through customized hardware architectures and specialized system designs.

Research Areas

Architecture

  • Efficient Domain-Specific Accelerators (DSA) for LLM/VLA
  • Near-Memory / Processing-in-Memory (PIM) Computing

System

  • Efficient system design for LLMs/VLAs
  • Heterogeneous computing with FPGA, GPU, and NPUs

Algorithm

  • Hardware-aware algorithms for efficient AI computing
  • Algorithm-system-architecture co-design

Openings

I am actively recruiting self-motivated candidates for the following positions:

  • PhD Students
  • MPhil Students
  • Research Assistants

Applicants with backgrounds in computer engineering, computer science, electronic engineering, or related fields are welcome.
We also have open positions focusing on Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and Embodied AI.
