Summary
Chang Gao is a tenured Assistant Professor at TU Delft leading the Efficient circuits & systems for Machine Intelligence (EMI) lab, where he designs energy-efficient digital AI hardware for edge applications spanning ultrafast communication, video/audio processing, robotics, and biomedical devices. With a PhD from the University of Zurich/ETH Zürich and an MSc from Imperial College London, he applies neuromorphic principles to bridge ANNs and SNNs, delivering massive acceleration with competitive accuracy on real-world tasks. A recognized innovator—recipient of the Misha Mahowald Prize, Mahowald Early Career Award, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship, and MIT Technology Review’s Innovator Under 35—he has also earned best-paper honors at AICAS. Over a decade of experience combines deep circuit design expertise with system-level AI research, and his work uniquely targets practical edge constraints rather than abstract benchmarks.
