    黃恩明(Chinese name, pronounced "Hwang, En Ming")

    Ph.D Student, Computer Science Department, National Taiwan University

    Research: My research focuses on efficient algorithms and systems for accelerated computing, spanning GPU and high-performance computing, large language models, electronic design automation (EDA), and domain-specific workloads.
    I am also interested in hands-on system building and performance optimization. I am a two-time Overall Winner of the SC Student Cluster Competition in 2022 (Participant) and 2025 (Coach).

    Bio: I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at National Taiwan University (NTU), advised by Prof. Shih-Hao Hung. Before joining NTU, I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science from National Tsing Hua University, where I worked with Prof. Chun-Yi Lee and Prof. Jerry Chou.

    Outside of research, I enjoy traveling and photography. Please visit my gallery to see some of my work.
