Summary
Cheng Wang is an Assistant Professor in electrical and computer engineering with eight years of experience bridging physics, emerging microelectronics and AI hardware. His work spans device-to-system co-optimization of non-volatile memories, neuromorphic computing, and hardware-software codesign for machine learning accelerators, grounded in a Ph.D. in physics from UT Austin and early-career R&D at Seagate on high-density magneto-electronic memory. He has led projects that translated thin-film magnetics metrology and data-driven sensitivity studies into product-ready HDD media, and later developed in-memory computing architectures for beyond-CMOS technologies. Known for combining rigorous experimental metrology (VSM/MOKE/PPMS) with machine-learning-driven analysis, he brings a rare blend of hands-on device physics and system-level AI hardware design. Based in the United States, he also holds a Udacity Nanodegree in self-driving systems, reflecting an appetite for applied ML beyond pure research.
