Short Bio
Jieru Zhao is currently a tenure-track associate professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). Before joining SJTU, she received the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2020, supervised by Prof. Wei Zhang , and the B.S. degree from Nanjing Univerity in 2015. She worked as a research scientist intern at DAMO academy (Aug-Nov 2020). Her research interests lie in the area of computer systems, specifically focusing on automatic design tools, hardware-software co-design and efficient AI systems. She has received two best paper awards (ICCAD'17, HPCA'24) and four best paper nominations (ISCA'24, DATE'22, SC'21, CASES'18) in top conferences.
