I am a final-year Ph.D. Candidate at MIT EECS, advised by Prof. Song Han. I also closely work with Prof. Fred Chong at the EPiQC center, Prof. Anantha Chandrakasan (MIT) and Prof. David Pan (UT Austin). I received my B.S with honors from Fudan University. My research is supported by Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship, Baidu Fellowship, and Unitary Fund. I am the co-founder of the QuCS “Quantum Computer Systems” Forum.

I am on academic job market this year, please reach out for any opportunities!

My research area is the intersection of Quantum Computing, Computer Architecture and Machine Learning. My research aims to build software stack and hardware support for quantum computing with AI-Assisted cross-stack co-design methodology to bridge quantum applications to available quantum devices.

  • Cross-stack algorithm architecture hardware co-design for practical quantum computing
  • AI for quantum program, compiler, hardware design
  • Efficient algorithm-hardware co-design for Transformer models

I commit 1~2 hours every week to provide guidance, suggestions, and/or mentorships for students from underrepresented groups or whoever is in need. Please fill in this form if you are interested.
