From 1994 to 1997, he was a lead architect in building a 32-processor hierarchical shared-memory multiprocessor research prototype. He joined the faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department in 2002. In 2010, he was at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center working on future POWER processor concept development.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_9\">His research interests include various aspects of high-performance computer architecture such as processor microarchitecture, communication and memory substrate, reliability, and energy-efficient and complexity-effective design. His recent emphasis is in exploiting physics-based computing. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award, an IBM Faculty Award, a member of the &#8220;Hall of Fame&#8221; of ISCA and HPCA, and a member of the IEEE and the ACM.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Research<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Increasing reliance on computing as a means of scientific exploration demands ever higher speed, reliability, and efficiency from high-performance systems. Achieving sustained gain in all these metrics requires continued innovation in processor microarchitecture, the communication and coherency substrate, and the underlying device technology. Such innovation builds upon concrete understanding of the interaction of these components. Our research spans these components and focuses on delivering practical, complexity-effective solutions. In addition to architectural exploration, we are also investigating how to leverage new technologies and circuit techniques. For example, we are investigating the use of optics as well as mixed-signal circuits to design physics-based non-von Neumann computings systems such as <em>Ising machines<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Representative recent publications: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/ece\/sites\/michaelhuang\/publications\/\">(full list)<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1103\/7s4v-4hs4\">PRApplied&#8217;25<\/a>: <span class=\"style_8\">\u201c<\/span>General oscillator-based Ising-machine models with phase-amplitude dynamics and polynomial interactions<span class=\"style_9\">\u201d<\/span>, L.
