About me

I received PhD degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, in 2015. I was also a visiting research scholar of the University of Southern California, USA, in 2014. I am currently an associate professor with the Cyberspace Institute of Advanced Technology, Guangzhou University, Guangdong Province, China. MY research interests include network intelligent hardware acceleration, VLSI design for deep learning, and network algorithms.
