Yuke @ Rice
Embedded Files
Yuke Wang is the incoming assistant professor at Rice University CS Department in Fall 2025. Yuke got his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). He got his Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Software Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2018.
At UCSB, Yuke is working with Prof Yufei Ding. Yuke's research interests include Systems & Compiler for deep learning and Parallel Programming. His recent projects cover graph neural network (GNN) optimization and its acceleration on GPUs. Yuke is also the recipient of the NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship 2022 - 2023 (Top-10 out of global applicants). The ultimate goal of Yuke’s research is to facilitate efficient, scalable, and secure deep learning in the future.
