About

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Hong Kong, working with Prof. Han Wang. I received my Ph.D. from HKU in 2026, supervised by Prof. Han Wang and Prof. Zhongrui Wang, and my bachelor's degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2022.

I build compute-in-memory chips with memristors such as RRAM and carry them all the way to working systems: the chip, the test board and FPGA controller, and the algorithms that run on them. My research follows three directions. The first turns the physical properties of the device into computing resources and system elements. The second asks how to deploy and train neural networks efficiently on memristor-based analog compute-in-memory, through in-memory pruning, adaptive programming and fault-aware compensation. The third explores new computing paradigms built on memristors, such as fully analog, continuous-time neural ODE solvers for generative models.

I have authored 25 peer-reviewed papers (13 journal and 12 conference papers), including 6 as first or co-first author in Nature Communications, IEDM, DAC and ICCAD. As a co-author I have also published in Nature, Nature Machine Intelligence, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Computational Science, Science Advances, Advanced Materials and IEEE Transactions on Computers.
