Weikang Qian

From The Circuits and Biology Lab at UMN

I am a Ph.D. student in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus.

Research

I am pursuing research on the following topics:

• Stochastic Logic Computation
• Synthesizing Stochastic Logic
• Analyzing Circuit with Noisy Gates

I am also interested in traditional logic synthesis and look forward to exploring some interesting problems in that area.
