About me

Hi! My name is Yuan Yao, or 姚[1]远[2] in Chinese.

My UU page is here.

Professional Background

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Uppsala Computer Architecture Research Team (UART), Uppsala University, Sweden.

I was a Postdoc researcher at Uppsala University 2019-2020. Before joining Uppsala University, I earned my PhD in Electronic and Computer Systems (2019) and an M.S. in System-on-Chip Design (2014), both from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.

Research Interests

My research focuses on:

  • Network-on-Chip (NoC) design
  • Heterogeneous architectures
  • Energy-efficient accelerators for emerging workloads (AI and big graphs)
  • Energy-efficient multi-core

Open Source & Personal Projects

Beyond academia, I have my hobbies in open-source projects, particularly in:

  • gem5 (computer architecture simulation)
  • Linux kernel (low-level systems development. And yes, I hate bisects)

I also work on private projects for fun, typically during the summer break. Some of these can be found in the Tools section.

Besides programming languages

Myself speaks:

  • Chinese (Native)
  • English (Fluent)
  • Swedish (Basic communication)
