Biography

Wei Zhao received the Ph.D and BE degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2023, 2018, respectively. In my Ph.D. career, I’m a member of SSS&SDS Group (supervised by: Dan Feng, Wei Tong). The main research interests include Non-volatile Memory (NVM), processing in memory architecture and approximate computing/storage. My CV is here 中文简历.
