I am a final Ph.D. Student at MIT, advised by Prof. Song Han. I also closely work with Prof. Fred Chong at EPiQC.

I’m on academic job market this year, please reach out for any opportunities!

My research area is the intersection of Quantum Computing, Computer Architecture and Machine Learning:

• Cross-layer algorithm architecture hardware co-design for practical quantum computing
• Machine learning assisted quantum program, compiler, hardware design
• Heterogeneous computing architecture with quantum and classical sectors
• Efficient machine learning architecture

I commit 1~2 hours every week to provide guidance, suggestions, and/or mentorships for students from underrepresented groups or whoever is in need. Please fill Please fill in this form if you are interested.
