Tianshi Wang

I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Jaijeet Roychowdhury.

My thesis work focuses on oscillator-based computation, in which I have shown that nonlinear oscillators can implement both general-purpose Boolean computation systems and Ising-model-inspired combinatorial optimization solvers. More generally, I am interested in the theory, characterization and compact modelling of novel electronic and multi-domain devices, and their applications in novel computational architectures and paradigms. Throughout my PhD study, I have also been actively developing open-source infrastructures for prototyping new device compact models and advanced simulation algorithms to promote reproducible research in the field. Before coming to UC Berkeley, I got my Bachelor's degree from the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University in 2012.
