About me

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Can Li at the Cognitive and Adaptive Neuromorphic Computing Lab (CANLab). Currently, I’m working on hardware-algorithm co-design for next-generation AI computing systems, particularly leveraging analog computing-in-memory (CIM) and device-level stochasticity in emerging memories.

My work spans from harnessing intrinsic analog errors for hardware security and computational provenance, to regulating these errors for privacy-preserving computation, and toward monolithic 3D (M3D) architectures that not only transcend analog variability but also support more diverse operators and larger on-chip bandwidth for fully homomorphic encryption.

Prior to Hong Kong, I received my B.S. degree from the Department of Microelectronics Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2023, where I graduated ranked 1st in my cohort. During my undergraduate studies, I was also fortunate to participate in exchange programs at Peking University and the University of Macau, working on AI computing systems and analog IC design. You can find more details about my research and ongoing work on my Projects page.
