I am a Ph. D student in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. My research interests include computer architectures and VLSI design. I am currently working with Prof. David Brooks and Prof. Gu-Yeon Wei

Before I came to Harvard, I got my Bachelors degree from Fudan Univeristy in China, and Masters degree from Stony Brook University at New York. I also spent three years working as a full time digital IC and ASIC designer at several companies. 

My current research focuses on joint computer architecture, CAD, and circuit solutions that are aware of upcoming design challenges such as process, temperature and voltage variations in nano-scale era. I am also looking for novel methodologies for early stage performance and power modeling of modern microprocessors. 

Looking forward, I hope to conduct advanced research in the area of variation tolerant circuits and microarchitecture, variation aware and self-adaptable embedded systems, VLSI circuits, architectures and EDA tools for the nano-scale computing systems, multi-core architectures and underlying application specific circuits for biology and scientific applications
