    Speaker: Dr. Sung Kyu Lim, Motorola Solutions Foundation Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology

    Talk Title: Unlocking the Future: Designing Next-Generation AI Chips with AI Algorithms

    Abstract: Data, chips, and algorithms form the backbone of the AI revolution, demanding hardware as sophisticated as orchestrating a bustling city. In this technological realm, GPUs and high-bandwidth memory are essential yet frequently strained by the immense volume of data traffic. By employing 2.5D and 3D IC architectures through heterogeneous integration, we can greatly enhance energy efficiency and reduce latency in data transfers. A key component of this advancement is the automation of design and simulation for heterogeneous AI chips, where powerful algorithms take the lead, rather than humans. This remarkable capability hinges on advanced electronic design automation (EDA) tools. At Georgia Tech, my research team merges AI-driven and traditional algorithms to bolster EDA capabilities, specifically engineered for developing cutting-edge heterogeneous AI chips. In my talk, I will spotlight these innovations and address the ongoing challenges in AI chip design and EDA.

    Biography: Prof. Sung Kyu Lim earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA in 2000. Since 2001, he has been a faculty member at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research explores the architecture, design, and electronic design automation (EDA) of 2.5D and 3D integrated circuits, contributing to over 400 published papers. He received the Best Paper Awards from the IEEE Transactions on CAD in 2022 and the ACM Design Automation Conference in 2023. He is an IEEE Fellow and served as a program manager at DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office from 2022 to 2024.

  • MHI - Physics Joint Seminar Series, Haocun Yu, Tuesday, October 1st at 2pm in EEB 248 & Zoom

    Tue, Oct 01, 2024 @ 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Haocun Yu, Marie-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow - University of Vienna

    Talk Title: Using Quantum Optics to Illuminate the Universe's Mysteries

    Series: MHI Physics Joint Seminar Series

    Abstract: Advanced quantum techniques are revolutionizing our ability to observe and understand the universe. From employing squeezing in LIGO detectors to demonstrate human-scale macroscopic quantum phenomena, to utilizing photon-counting methods for measuring Earth's rotation and detecting dark matter, I will discuss how quantum optical applications enhance precision measurements, interface quantum mechanics and gravity, and offer new insights into fundamental questions about the nature of our universe.

    Biography: Haocun Yu is a Marie-Cuire Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Vienna working with Prof. Philip Walther. She completed her Ph.D. in physics in MIT LIGO group working with Prof. Nergis Mavalvala, working on quantum techniques and phenomena for gravitational-wave detectors. Her research interests lie in using various quantum techniques and precision sensing methods for fundamental physics.  Her work has been recognized with honors including the MIT Martin Deutsch Award, APS Carl E. Anderson Dissertation Award, and Boeing Quantum Creators Prize. She is enthusiastic about continuing interdisciplinary work that advances quantum technologies and addresses intriguing fundamental questions about our world.
