Biography
Christopher Torng joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California as an assistant professor in 2023.
Prior to his appointment, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University from 2019 to 2022. He operated as a faculty-equivalent research advisor in the Stanford Agile Hardware (AHA) center, where he worked on creating high-performance and energy-efficient architectures for domain-specific hardware acceleration, supported by an agile software-hardware co-design methodology.
He has over ten years of experience building complex digital SoCs as ASIC prototypes as well as new agile flow tools that have already supported tapeouts for over a dozen academic chips, implemented in technologies from 180nm to 12nm. His activities have resulted in his selection as a Rising Star in Computer Architecture by Georgia Tech as well as an IEEE MICRO Top Pick from Hot Chips.
