Yi-Hsiang (Sean) Lai
I am currently an applied scientist working at Amazon Web Services, Inc. I received my Ph.D. degree in May 2022 from Cornell ECE at Cornell's Computer System Lab under Zhiru Zhang's advice since 2016. I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2013 and my master's degree in Electronics Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2015 under Jie-Hong Roland Jiang's advice. My area of interest includes but is not limited to electronic design automation (EDA), high-level synthesis (HLS), domain-specific languages (DSL), and machine learning.
