My research lab at ASU is called Advent Lab. A full website for the lab is coming soon. In the meantime, please see the research focus, themes and available positions below.Â
Developing computer systems that can efficiently process modern workloads (e.g. Machine Learning), with a special focus on reconfigurable systems
Theme #1: FPGA architecture, Novel fabrics beyond traditional FPGAs, 3D FPGAs, Chiplet-based FPGAs, CGRA architectures, Improving the programmability of reconfigurable substrates
Theme #2: Energy-efficient hardware for machine learning (ML), Domain-specific acceleration of emerging workloads, Hardware-Software Co-Design, Sustainable acceleration, Multi-FPGA systems
Theme #3: Non-traditional computing, Data-centric computing, Processing in/near/using memory, Processing on the fly (in network)
Theme #4: ML applications like using ML to accelerate EDA/CAD, developing ML systems for IoT/edge/cloud (e.g. healthcare, smart cities), etc.
I am looking for dedicated and motivated students who intend to pursue a Ph.D. degree at ASU.
