VVIP Lab

VVIP Lab is looking for highly-motivated students for Ph.D program. (The MS students are only recruited through either 1) top scorer of ECE284 or 2) SRIP project.)

If you consider VVIP lab seriously, please apply "Computer Engineering" program inside ECE department for your Ph.D application. Otherwise, I have limited accessibility to your application.

For three research pillars listed below, the required skillsets as an ideal candidate are described below:

1. Mixed-signal circuit for low-power AI hardware:

  - Full custom transistor-level circuit design, silicon tape-out experience highly welcomed

2. Digital machine learning accelerator architecture:

  - Verilog/VHDL, synthesis/auto-PnR with Cadence tools

3. Algorithm hardware co-optimization in machine learning system:

 - Pytorch/tensor flow, familiar with machine learning network models for inference/training

For any further questions and discussion, you can email me: mingu@ucsd.edu 

- State which pillar (out of three pillars listed above) you are interested in.

- Attach your updated CV, including GPA, and transcript (while transcript is optional, CV without GPA is not considered) 

- I appologize that I might not be able to reply due to high volume of emails. But, I am checking emails slowly, and keeping track of potential applicants with great fit.
