Mohsen Imani
Assistant Professor University of California, Irvine Department of Computer Science |
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at UC Irvine. I am also a director of Bio-Inspired Architecture and Systems (BIASLab). My group is working on a wide range of practical problems in the area of bio-inspired computing, machine learning, computer architecture, and embedded systems. Our research goal is to design real-time, robust, secure cognitive computing system.
I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the UC San Diego. I have a stellar record of publication with over 120 papers in top conferences/journals. My contribution has led to a new direction on brain-inspired hyperdimensional computing that enables ultra-efficient and real-time learning and cognitive support. My research was also the main initiative in opening up multiple industrial and governmental research programs. My research has been recognized with several awards, including the Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Award, the Outstanding Researcher Award, and the Powell Fellowship Award. I also received the Best Doctorate Research from UCSD and best paper award in Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE), and several best paper nomination awards at multiple top conferences including Design Automation Conference (DAC) in 2019 and 2020, Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) in 2020, and International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) in 2020. I am currently mentoring a group of 20 students, including 10 PhD students. Please see our team members here. |
