Weikai (Wei-Kai) Lin
Department of Computer Science @ University of Rochester, NY, USA
I am a Ph.D. student at University of Rochester, advised by Yuhao Zhu. Previously, I earned B.E. from Tsinghua University and M.Sc. from Peking University. Find more details in my CV.
đź’» My current research aims to bridge the gap between hardware and software through system-level co-optimization, including but not limited to:
- 🚀 AR/VR Neural Rendering and Acceleration: Developing neural rendering algorithms for AR/VR systems and designing corresponding hardware accelerators. [ASPLOS'25a, ASPLOS'25b, ISCA'25, HotMobile'25, TACO'24]
- đź“· Imaging System Design: Designing sensors and optics for imaging systems, along with co-optimized downstream vision models. [DAC'25, WACV'25]
