About
Cunxi is an Assistant Professor in the ECE Department (A. James Clark
School of Engineering) at the
University of
Maryland, College Park. His research interests focus on novel algorithms, systems, and hardware designs for computing and security. Before joining University of Maryland, Cunxi was Assistant Professor with University of Utah, and held PostDoc at Cornell University (with Prof. Zhiru Zhang) and EPFL in 2017-2018 (with Prof. Giovanni De Micheli). Cunxi was a research intern at IBM T.J Watson Research Center in 2015
and 2016. He received Ph.D. degree from UMass Amherst in 2017 under Prof. Maciej
Ciesielski. His work received the Best Paper Award at DAC (2023), Best Paper Nominations at ASP-DAC (2017),
TCAD (2018), and 1st place at DAC Hack@DAC (2017), NSF
CAREER Award (2021), and American Physical Society DLS poster award (2022).
CV
I am actively recruiting self-motivated Ph.D. students in broad aspects
of computing engineering. Send me an email with a brief research statement,
CV, and transcript if you are interested.
PhD Application at ECE@UMD
I am very fortunate to work with a group of talented researchers and students!
