( Details are on the homepage: http://cs.ucsd.edu/~hazhuang ) I received (M.S. < ) C.Phil. degree ( < Ph.D) in Computer Science from UC San Diego in June, 2015. Currently, I am a Software Developer II at Ansys Inc., working for a market leading product and building software that transfers my research toys to solve real-life problems. Meanwhile, I am still a Computer Science PhD candidate, exploring algorithms and theories for related computing systems. My major research focus is numerical and optimization algorithms as well as large-scale computing system/platform research, with the applications in design automation, very large-scale integration systems, EDA, VLSI CAD, high-dimensional (large-scale) data analysis, signal processing and semiconductor, chip/hardware designs. Besides daily PhD research, I also have fun writing code for large-scale computing systems and infrastructures.
