Xiang Li

I am a fourth-year direct-entry Ph.D. student in the School of Electronic Science and Engineering at Nanjing University, advised by Prof. Yun Li. I am also supervised by Prof. Qiong Chang at Institute of Science Tokyo, and jointly supervised by Prof. Jun Miyazaki. I received my B.Eng. degree from Nanchang University.

My research focuses on GPU-based high-performance parallel algorithm design for computer vision, graph processing, and large-scale data processing, with a particular interest in architecture-aware optimization on mobile, server, and embedded GPU platforms.
