Yu-Chun Ding (丁友鈞)   

I am currently pursuing my PhD degree at National Tsing Hua University, advised by Prof. Chao-Tsung Huang. My research interests include algorithm-hardware co-optimization and energy-efficient VLSI architecture design for image processing and deep learning.

My publications include two first-author papers in ISSCC and ESSCIRC and co-authored works in MICRO, ISICAS, TCAS-I, and SSC-L. I also have practical experience developing real-time chip and FPGA SoC platforms and leading digital VLSI tape-out projects in 40nm and 16nm.
