About Me

Hi, this is Peiyi He! Welcome!

I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Can Li. Currently, I’m working on fast, efficient and accurate genomic analysis with emerging in-memory computing technique. I am also working on various fully integrated memristor-based content addressable memory chip design.

Prior to Hong Kong, I received my B.Eng. degree from School of Integrated Circuits, Tsinghua University in 2023, where I worked on memristor-based content addressabel memory design for few-shot learning as my final-year project. During my undergraduate studies, I was also fortunate to have the opportunity to complete a summer research internship at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. If you are interested in my research and looking for academic discussion, feel free to reach out to me through email!
