(王昱阳)
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Lightwave Research Laboratory at the Columbia University in the City of New York, supervised by Prof. Keren Bergman. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2021, co-advised by Prof. Kwang-Ting Cheng and Prof. John E. Bowers. I earned my B.Eng. degree in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2015.
My research centers on enabling the design of system connectivity that is ultra high-bandwidth, energy-efficient, and adaptable in today’s data-driven world. Tackling the significant communication bottlenecks found in modern distributed computing infrastructures, exacerbated by data-intensive AI and machine learning workloads, I am committed to designing—as well as democratizing the design process for—scalable architectures that maximize the capabilities of integrated silicon photonics, bridging communication and computation. With a deeper integration of photonics within computing sockets, I envision a paradigm shift in computing architectures that promises unparalleled interconnection bandwidth density, versatility, and functionalities.
🕵️♂️ I am seeking tenure-track faculty positions starting in Fall 2024. Feel free to contact me at yw3831 [at] columbia [dot] edu.
I am an amateur travel photographer when I travel. Here are some of my favorite works from the past.
