RESEARCH

System-level Co-Design of RISCV Accelerators for TinyML at the Edge (On going)

Research Assistant, Prof. Yun Li, UESTC

  • Designing, implementing and verifying hardware-accelerated DSC and attention kernels in ViT using C++ with RVV intrinsics that are adaptable and efficient for edge computing in Coral NPU framework open-sourced by Google and VeriSilicon.
  • Exploring CUDA-like DSL to RVV ISA compiler for seamless deployment of TinyML models on RISCV-based NPUs.

GAT-based Multi-Task RL for Robust PVT-Aware Analog Design (Aug 2025 — Oct 2025)

Research Assistant, Prof. Yun Li, UESTC

  • Proposed a GAT-based multi-task Reinforcement Learning framework to optimize analog circuits under diverse PVT corners.
  • Modeled PVT conditions as graph nodes, enabling adaptive attention to corner-specific bottlenecks.
  • Reduced specific violations by \(19\times\) and simulations by \(69\%\) on AnalogGym benchmarks.

PROJECTS

YOPO: You Only Pick Once – Light Object Tracking Algorithm (Sept 2025)

Red Car Tracking Demo
  • Developed a lightweight object tracking algorithm that requires only one initial selection, successfully mitigate the intense computation of DNN forward propagation on every frame.
  • Utilized NCC-based matching, adaptive kernel updating, capable of tracking objects with gradual color and size changes.

Control and Computer Vision for Autonomous Quadcopter System (Feb 2025 — Jun 2025)

Assembled Drone
  • Developed a automatic quadrotor aircraft for objection detection, route planning, and closed-loop flight control.
  • Used ROS2 and OpenCV library to implement originally designed computer vision algorithms for real-time landing area detection.

Design and Visualization of a Complete Single-cycle RV32I CPU Core (Jan 2025 — Mar 2025)

GPIO blink demo in Digital
  • Designed and open-sourced an single-core, single-cycle RISCV 32-bit CPU from scratch in Verilog for RTL simulation and in Digital Software for working principle visualization.
  • Built a complete datapath including PC, fetcher, decoder, register file, ALU, LRU-based L1 cache, etc., compatible with basic peripherals: GPIOs, IIC, UART, etc.
  • Implemented a boot program in RISCV assembly, basic delay and gpio libraries in C. Compiled and simulated using RISCV GNU toolchain.

Adaptive Markov Entropy Source Encoding (Oct 2024 — Nov 2024)

Proposed AME coding scheme
  • Originally-designed the second-order Markov Adapative Approximation (AME) to perform source coding of the Game of Thrones using Python and Matlab.
