About Me
Hi! I am Haichuan Liu, a senior undergraduate student in Microelectronics Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).
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 connecting algorithms with hardware constraints.
Currently I am actively seeking Fall 2027 Ph.D. opportunities.

Fun Facts About Me
Skiing
I learned cross-country skiing and downhill skiing at Cornell. It has become one of my hobbies now.
Road Trip
I once drove across the US-Canada border and also drove all the way from Ithaca in upstate New York to NYC.
Travel
I have been to ten countries: China, Thailand, UK, Russia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, USA, Mexico and Canada.
