- Messages for Students
- I strongly believe in learning fundamentals before doing anything advanced. Please spend some time to read, study, and practice basic topics like mathematics, English and programing. I will certainly help you in a long career ahead. You need to build a strong foundation, not a house of card. You can be slower than your peers for now, but can move forward way futher with good fundanmentals understanding. Life is not sprint, it's a marathon.
Main research
- Brain-inspired Algorithms and Systems
-
Brain-inspired (Neuromorphic) computing uses spiking neuron network models to solve machine learning problems in a more power/energy-efficient way when compared to the conventional artificial neural networks.We research adaptive low-power spiking neuromorphic systems and SoCs empowered with our earlier developed fault-tolerant three-dimensional on-chip interconnect technology. In particular, we investigate innovative algorithms and neuromorphic systems, including adaptive configuration methods to enable the reconfiguration of different network parameters (spike weights, routing, hidden layers, topology, etc.), fault-tolerance, thermal-aware mapping methods, and on-line learning algorithms. The target applications include anthropomorphic robotics and edge computing.

Our research in power and energy-efficient computing systems is essential to meeting the growing demand for more powerful and sustainable technology. As society increasingly relies on computing devices, managing their energy consumption becomes crucial. By developing efficient computing systems, we can significantly reduce energy costs, minimize environmental impact, and extend the battery life of portable devices. In large-scale data centers, enhancing energy efficiency leads to substantial cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint. Our work in this field fosters innovation in hardware and software design, paving the way for smarter, greener technologies that benefit both users and the planet.
