Hao Zhuang, Ph.D., UCSD Computer Science

Software Engineer at Google, Mountain View, CA, USA. Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of California, San Diego. Contact: hazhuang @ cs.ucsd.edu, linkedin Google scholar profile Mathematics genealogy tree; Erdös number: 3.

Currently, I solve problems ranging from software to hardware/silicon chip designs, and lead a team at Google, mainly working on media accelerators, customized compute, AI perception, and high-performance computing. My team at Google also maintains software package QKeras with AutoQKeras for ML software/hardware co-design, which is also supported by other open-sourced software toolchains to convert quantized ML models to hardware implementations such as FPGA and ASIC.

Previously, I applied math and computer science to model and analyze dynamic systems inside large-scale integrate circuits (VLSI chips). I also did a little bit of place-and-route in VLSI physical design. My research works and software packages have been transferred and used in the EDA industry.
