Hi! I am Haikang Diao, a Ph.D. student at Peking University, advised by Prof. Xiyuan Tang.
My email: diaohaikang@stu.pku.edu.cn

Prior to joining PKU, I received the B.Eng. degree in electronic engineering from Fudan University, in 2019 and the M.S. degree in circuits and systems from Fudan University, in 2022. During my master, I was advised by Prof. Wei Chen.

My research interests include computing-in-memory, model compression, and acceleration.
