I'm a PhD student in Dept. of ECE, UCSB since 2015.  Before I transferd with my advisor, I spent a semster in Dept. of CSE, PSU. I recieved my B.S. and M.S. degree from Dept. of EE, Tsinghua University, in 2011 and 2014 respectively. My research interest is NVM circuit and architecture design and optimization. Previously, I also worked on system-level synthesis, nonvolatile processor based energy harvesting system, and nonvolatile processor.

Dylan Stow started at the University of California, Santa Barbara in Fall 2015 as a PhD student working with Professor Yuan Xie. Dylan received his M.S in Computer Architecture and VLSI/CAD from UCSB in 2017 and his B.S. degree from Harvey Mudd College in 2013. After graduating, he joined AMD as a physical circuit designer and contributed to the floating-point hardware in the recently-released Zen core.
His current research interests are (1) Architecture and design for emerging die-integration methodologies (e.g. 3D, 2.5D, FOWLP) with a focus on cost-driven design, IP reuse, and heterogeneous process integration, (2) hardware security, with an emphasis on hardware
techniques to prevent side-channel information leakage and IP piracy, and (3) efficient brain-inspired hardware that leverages emerging NVM and packaging technologies. Previously, he researched 3D machine learning accelerators for Qualcomm, floating point microarchitectures for Intel and Oracle Labs, and near-threshold CMOS cell design for yield-driven ultra-low power circuits.

 

Peng Gu received his B.S. degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2015. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara. Peng’s research interests include low power system design, hardware acceleration and computing with emerging technologies.

Wenqin Huangfu received his B.S. degree from Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, in 2016. He started pursuing his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara, under the supervision of Professor Yuan Xie in fall 2016. Wenqin’s research interests include hardware acceleration, non – volatile memory, novel computer architecture and design of energy efficient system. 

My name is Nicole Moghaddas and I am a third year undergraduate student at University of California, Santa Barbara majoring in Computer Engineering. I have a passion for computer architecture and computer programming, and am very interested in machine learning and embedded systems.
