Gaurav Narang
Incoming Assistant Professor
University of South Florida
Postdoc @ Arizona State University
I am super-excited to join the University of South Florida, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor, from August 2026.
I investigate machine learning (ML)-based methodologies for the design of advanced computing systems using emerging technologies to enable energy-efficient, high-performance, and reliable inference and training of emerging ML models. My research focuses on cross-layer hardware and software co-design spanning across applications, architecture, and advanced packaging.
Specific topics include:
Design of advanced computing systems using emerging technologies (e.g., compute-in-memory, silicon photonics)
ML for design space exploration and dynamic resource management in computing systems
Design for reliability in advanced packaging (e.g., 2.5D chiplets and 3D integration)
