* I am looking for PhD students. If you are interested in research on computer architecture in general, GPU architecture, deep learning acceleration, or heterogeneous system, submit an application with my name marked as your faculty interest (here).
Why UC Merced? UC Merced campus is in 2-hour proximity from Silicon Valley. We are the youngest campus in the prestigious University of California system. Students will get the same benefit with the other campuses inspite of cheaper living expenses. Check our ranking for computer architecture and high-performance research here.
