- Computer Science and Computer Engineering are different fields. Computer Science deals with programming computing systems, but Computer Engineering deals with building computing systems. So, Computer Engineering includes computer architecture, embedded systems, hardware acceleration, digital design, system-level design, VLSI design, CAD tools, system software, compilers, etc. My area of research deals with Computer Engineering and not Computer Science.
- Please look at the research themes and research projects in my lab. Please email only if you are interested in these research topics.
- If you are interested in Machine Learning/Deep Learning, please note that my lab’s focus is hardware acceleration of ML and applying ML to CAD/EDA. In other words, ML related projects in my lab have to overlap with FPGAs, computer architecture, embedded systems, VLSI, etc. I do not work in the general Machine Learning/Deep Learning applications.
- If you do apply, please apply to the “Computer Engineering (Computer Systems)” graduate program at ASU.
