We are looking for highly self-motivated PhD, MS, and undergraduate students joining us, doing research on computer-aided design, high-performance computing, machine learning systems, and quantum computing. Please email Prof Huang your resume and research interest (see our Research and Why Join Our Team?).
Bio Dr. Huang is an Assistant Professor in the ECE Department at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He was an Assistant Professor at the University of Utah from 2019 to 2023. He received his PhD from the ECE Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017 and BS/MS from the CS Department at Taiwan’s National Cheng Kung University in 2011. He has been creating software systems to simplify the building of performance-critical applications, such as computer-aided design, machine learning systems, and quantum computing. These software systems are being used by thousands of people in industry and academia.
Dr. Huang receives several awards for his research contributions, including ACM SIGDA Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award, NSF CAREER Award, Humboldt Research Fellowship Award, and ACM SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award.

The code of conduct in our group is to respect and support each other. Hierarchy does exist but only for project management. We solve real-world problems that matter to the society. You will find plenty of research opportunities for a BS/MS/PhD thesis. Specifically, in our group you will learn to:
We collaborate with many people from industry, academia, and government agencies. You can work with people around the world to explore different research ideas. After you leave our group, you will be ready for many job opportunities in both software and hardware companies. For instance, my students have been working in Nvidia, Intel, Cadence, Synopsys, IBM, etc.
