"Try to learn something about everything and everything about something."

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825 - 1895)

Bio

I am an assistant professor at the CS department of UC Santa Barbara, holding a joint appointment with the ECE department. I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from North Carolina State University in Nov 2017, advised by Prof. Xipeng Shen. Before that, I got my M.S. and B.S. degrees in Physics at the College of William and Mary and the University of Science and Technology of China, respectively. My research interests lie in the broad fields of domain-specific language design, architecture and compiler optimization, and hardware acceleration. I am the director the PICASSO research group, and I also co-direct the SEAL lab at UCSB with Dr. Yuan Xie.

Here are my CV and my Google Scholar Page.

Openings

I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students and postdocs, especially in the direction of quantum computing. Please send me an email with your CV if interested.
