About me
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Prior to that, I received my Ph.D. degree from Arizona State University, advised by Prof. Deliang Fan, Master’s degree at University of Central Florida, and Bachelor’s degree at Northeastern University, China.
My research interests include:
Efficient and On-device Machine Learning
Continual Learning
Efficient AI Computing Hardware Accelerator Design
With various applications in computer vision, natural language processing (e.g., large-scale generative models), IoT/Mobile computing, and secure AI systems.
