If you are here to seek "TL;DR"...

• Question: what should I read, if I just want to have a very quick glance at what ScopeX lab is currently focusing on?
• Answer: Prof. Gu has broad research interests spanning from emerging hardware design for efficient computing (photonics, post-CMOS electronics, quantum), hardware-algorithm co-design, AI/ML algorithms, and electronic-photonic design automation. We pick six papers that represent our recent flavors. The list will change over time:
  • [ONN Review, JLT 2024]
  • [AI for Optical Simulation, NeurOLight, NeurIPS 2022]
  • [Photonic AI Accelerator, Lightening-Transformer, HPCA 2024]
  • [Automated Photonic Circuit Design, ADEPT, DAC 2022]
  • [Circuit/Algorithm Co-Design for Optical Neural Network, FFT-ONN, TCAD 2021]
  • [Training Algorithm for ONN On-Chip Deployment, L2ight, NeurIPS 2021]
