PhD Candidate · Dept. Electrical and Computer Engineering · Duke University

I am actively exploring full-time opportunities starting in 2027 in performance optimization, compute acceleration, and hardware reliability. If interested, please check out my résumé, and feel free to reach out!

About

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, advised by Prof. Tingjun Chen. My research focuses on performance optimization and compute acceleration for real-time systems, with recent work on CPU/GPU acceleration of wireless signal processing workloads. Before joining the FuNCtions Lab, I worked with Prof. Krishnendu Chakrabarty at Duke on hardware reliability and memory-centric computing. Before Duke, I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Taiwan with a focus on VLSI design and ML hardware under Prof. Chung-Ho Chen. I am broadly interested in computer architecture, high-performance computing, and hardware–software systems.
