Welcome to the Hardware and Artificial Intelligence (HAWAII) Lab!

The group is renamed into Hardware and Artificial Intelligence (HAWAII) Lab! This reflects in a much more appropriate way our research focus, which is on the intersections of various methods from artificial intelligence, machine learning, and hardware architectures. Stay tuned for current and upcoming work on making AI and ML faster, greener, and more robust, based on various hardware architectures, ranging from conventional but beautiful GPUs to emerging hardware concepts based on physical quantities such as photons, electrons and resistance!
