The UCLA Computer Science Department extends warm congratulations to Professor Cong on giving the opening keynote speech entitled “Can Deep Learning Broaden the Participation of FPGA Designs?” at the 2024 IEEE 32nd Annual International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM) in Orlando, Florida, on May 5, 2024. The IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM) is the original and premier forum for presenting and discussing new research related to computing that exploits the unique features and capabilities of FPGAs and other reconfigurable hardware.
Dr. Cong’s research interests include electronic design automation, customized computing for machine learning and big-data applications, quantum computing, and highly scalable algorithms. He has published over 500 research papers in these areas, including eighteen Best Paper Awards. He also received four 10-Year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award at ICCAD’14, ASPDAC 2015, 2017, 2023, and another 4 papers in the FPGA and Reconfigurable Computing Hall of Fame respectively.
