Research Interests
My research ambition is to address both fundamental and practical questions related to computations and design with future and emerging, massive-scale, silicon or non-silicon information processing devices. I am interested in a systematic understanding of the design space and trade-offs of novel computing architectures, considering the device, algorithms, languages, and systems as a whole. I use nature-inspired and novel methods that draw on complex adaptive systems science, theory, simulations, and experiments to seek disruptive new paradigms for future and emerging computing machines and paradigms in a very cross-disciplinary way.
