Welcome to DiPS Lab at UNIST!

The Digital Processor & System-on-Chip (DiPS) Lab is a research group in the Department of Electrical Engineering at UNIST, Ulsan, South Korea. We focus on HW-friendly algorithm optimizations, digital computing architectures, and circuit implementations for intelligent computing systems.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between algorithmic innovation and hardware realization by co-designing across algorithm, architecture, and circuit levels. The research interests include machine learning accelerators, domain-specific computing systems, and reconfigurable hardware platforms. By integrating research efforts, we aim to develop digital systems that enable next-generation applications.

We are actively seeking self-motivated interns, Ph.D. students, postdocs, and visiting scholars. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Prof. Dongyun Kam by dongyun.kam@unist.ac.kr.
