Tianao Ge

I am a final-year PhD student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), under the supervision of Prof. Hongyuan Liu and Prof. Xiaowen Chu. My research interests are in high-performance computing, computer architecture and optimizing compilers.

Before I joined HKUST-GZ, I graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a master's degree in 2022, advised by Prof. Xianwei Zhang. And I received my B.Eng. degree from Wuhan University of Technology in 2020.
