Biography

I'm a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Hayden Kwok-Hay So. I received my Bachelor degree from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2021.

My research interests include sparse computation, computer architecture, FPGA/GPU acceleration, and software-hardware co-design for heterogeneous platforms. My Ph.D. thesis is titled Efficient Sparse Computation on Heterogeneous Platforms: A Software-Hardware Co-Design Methodology.
