Research Interests
My research is motivated by how analog/mixed-signal hardware’s approximate-computing nature inspires new opportunities—smaller footprint, lower latency, lower power than ever—in the AI era. It broadly includes VLSI design, EDA tools development, and architectural explorations for ubiquitous computing platforms including edge devices and host servers.
