Yufei Ding
Assistant Professor
Research
My research interests lie in the broad fields of domain-specific language design, architecture and compiler optimization, and hardware acceleration (e.g., FPGAs, GPUs). Our current research focuses on building a high-performance, energy efficient, and high-fidelity programming framework for emerging technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and quantum computing.
