About Me
![](my.jpg)
Hi! I’m Hsin-Yu Ting, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), advised by Prof. Eli Bozorgzadeh.
Recently, I’m developing a hardware-software co-designed deep learning framework on an embedded FPGA-based heterogeneous SoC architecture, managing diverse computing resources to improve throughput and power efficiency. And I have experience in building acceleration system services for programmable hardware to the Android operating system, spanning framework (Java), Linux kernel (C) and hardware (Verilog) layer.
