Yiming Gan, URCS PhD, Assistant Professor @ ICT,CAS

Picture of me

I graduated from Department of Computer Science at the University of Rochester. I am now an assistant professor at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Please find my new website at yiminggan.com.

I work with Prof. Yuhao Zhu. Currently we are focusing on designing fast, reliable and energy efficient hardware for existing continuous vision and robotic applications. I'm also interested in robust deep learning and design automation. You are more than welcome to discuss topics related but not restricted to above perspectives via my email: ygan10@ur.rochester.edu or phone: 8054535772.

Before joining URCS, I got my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of California, Santa Barbara and my Bachelor's degree in School of Information and Electronics at Beijing Institute of Technology.
