About Me

Hi! I am Haichuan Liu, an undergraduate student in Microelectronics Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology. I am currently visiting Cornell University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of neuromorphic computing, hardware-software co-design, in-memory and analog computing, optical computing, and hardware-aware machine learning. I enjoy building systems that connect algorithms with physical hardware constraints.
