About Tony
MY BACKGROUND
Dr. Tony Geng is a tenure-track assistant professor in the ECE and CS departments of the University of Rochester (UR) and the director of UR's IntelliArch Lab. Before joining Rochester, Tony worked in the Physical & Computational Sciences Directorate (PCSD) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) operated by the Department of Energy of the US government for 2 years. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at Boston University in 2020. His research interests are at the intersection of computer architecture & systems, machine learning, graph intelligence, and high-performance computing. Tony's papers have appeared in many prestigious conferences and journals e.g. MICRO, HPCA, OSDI, AAAI, CVPR, ICCV, DAC, NIPS, SC, TPDS, TC, and TIP.
To prospective students:
I am currently looking for two Ph.D. students to work on next-generation hardware architectures & systems for future AI, graph intelligence, and their applications. Please drop me an email with your CV and transcripts if you are interested.
