Yangdi Lyu is an Assistant Professor in the Thrust of Microelectronics of the Function Hub at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), China. He received his B.E. from Tsinghua University in 2011, and Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2020. Prior to joining HKUST(GZ), Dr. Lyu worked at Google as a software engineer in California, USA. He has 10+ publications in peer-reviewed journals and premier conferences, and 5 patents.

His research has mainly focused on desigining novel test methodologies to ensure the correctness, trust and security in computing systems. These areas include

• Electronic design automation.
• Automated test generation.
• Hardware security and trust.

Openings

• Our lab has a few openings for PhD/MPhil/RA/PostDoc with full funding support to work on the EDA domain, hardware security and verification. We are looking for self-motivated students who like to explore these topics with solid hardware design knowledge and programming skills to turn theory into code. Students with degrees in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related disciplines are preferred. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Lyu along with your CV.
