Email: y-feng at sjtu dot edu dot cn

I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am also a member of the Institute of Advanced Computing.

Before joining SJTU, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Rochester. During my Ph.D., I worked with Prof. Yuhao Zhu. My main research interest is about efficient and high-performance Visual Computing. This topic is not only about how machines perceive visual information, but also how machines present visual information to us! My current research explores hardware/software co-design for emerging visual AI systems, with a focus on three directions: Neural Rendering, Embodied AI, and Large Video-Language Models.

Please do NOT randomly shoot me an email. I only consider PhD/Master/Postdoc applicants with a background in computer architecture or system. Please kindly ask deepseek or chatGPT what computer architecture is about before reaching out.

Note: Currently, two Master’s positions for Fall 2026 admission are still available, and at least one PhD position and one Master’s position are expected to be available for Fall 2027 admission.
