Research Summary
Yu Wang has published more than 90 journals (66 IEEE/ACM journals) and 310 conference papers in the areas of EDA, FPGA, VLSI Design, and Embedded Systems, with a focus on brain inspired computing, application specific heterogeneous computing, parallel circuit analysis, and power and reliability aware system design methodology. He has graduated 13 Ph.D. students and 23 Master Students, and currently advising 17 doctoral students and 16 master Students. He has served as PI/Co-PI on over 30 research grants administrated by China government agencies (including NSFC, National Key Technology Program, 863, etc.) and 29 research grants from industry (including Microsoft, IBM, etc.), with total amount of over 70 million RMB. These projects lead to new CAD tools and optimization methods, interesting heterogeneous computing systems based on CPU/FPGA/GPU/emerging memory technology. He has received Best Paper Award in ASP-DAC19, FPGA17, NVMSA17, ISVLSI12, Best Poster Award in HEART12, and 12 Best Paper Nominations (DATE23, DAC22, DATE18, ITC18, DAC17, ASP-DAC16, ASP-DAC14, ASP-DAC12, 2 in ASP-DAC10, ISLPED09, CODES09). He is an IEEE Fellow, a recipient of ACM/SIGDA Meritorious Service Award in 2020, Under-40 Innovators Award at DAC in 2018 (only 5 all over the world/year), High-end Leadership Award of Zhongguancun Talent Program in 2018, IBM X10 Faculty Award in 2010 (one of 30 worldwide).
He also received Natural Science Fund for Outstanding Youth Fund in 2016. He is the co-founder of Deephi Tech (a leading deep learning solution provider), which is acquired by Xilinx (about 300M USD) in 2018.
