About

School/DepartmentSchool of Natural and Computing Sciences Google ScholarLinkedin Biography I'm a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Computer Science Department at the University of Aberdeen. My research focuses on program optimisation and large-scale DNN (Deep Neural Network) model acceleration towards heterogeneous platforms (CPU, GPU, TPU, FPGA, etc.). Before joining the University of Aberdeen, I was a postdoc research fellow at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Edinburgh, where I received my PhD in computer science. I'm looking for highly motivated PhD students interested in compiler techniques, machine learning and heterogeneous systems. Please feel free to contact me for any enquiries. Research Research Overview My research interests include: Hardware/Software co-design
