I am Zhengxiong Li (李正雄), an ECE PhD student at University of Wisconsin-Madison, supervised by Prof. Umit Ogras and Prof. Tsung-Wei Huang. I graduated from Hongyi Honor College, Wuhan University (武汉大学弘毅学堂) with a bachelor’s degree in microelectronics science and engineering. I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Xianyang Jiang and Prof. Cheng Lei. I was a research intern at University of Alberta, Canada, supervised by Prof. Venkata Dinavahi.

My research interests include GPU workload scheduling, domain-specific acceleration and machine learning systems, with an emphasis on performance optimization.
