Dr. He is currently a Research Fellow working with Prof. Trevor Mudge in University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is participating in research to develop next-generation Software Defined computer architecture which has both high computational efficiency and flexibility to adapt to diverse real-world applications including, but is not limited to deep neural networks and graph processing. He is also conducting research on processor-in-memory accelerated sparse linear algebra, near data processing of graph workloads and in-place fast data format conversion. He also supervises several Ph.D. candidates to explore the hardware infrastructure for autonomous driving, efficient virtual memory design for large scale data center workloads.

Interests

Apart from being a researcher, I enjoy most of my time reading, raising pets and playing video games.

I'm thinking about getting a reptile chameleon, besides the two cats I had.

I'm a big fan of GAME DONE QUICK (GDQ). And I'm exploring Hollow Knight right now.
