Hanchen Ye
PhD Candidate at UIUC
Welcome! My name is Hanchen Ye (叶汉辰) and I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) advised by Prof. Deming Chen.
Before joining UIUC, I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree at Fudan University (复旦大学) in 2017 and 2019, respectively. During summers, I had spent time at Xilinx (2020), SiFive (2021), Intel (2022), and Google X (2023) as interns.
My research lies in the area of compilers, high-level synthesis (HLS), and hardware acceleration. Recently, I’ve been focused on HLS tools (ScaleHLS and XLS), domain-specific compilers (CIRCT and MLIR-AIE), and FPGA-based deep learning accelerators (HybridDNN and DNNExplorer).
