Shihui Song | 宋师慧

I will be joining the Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor starting from Fall 2026.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Iowa (2026), advised by Dr. Peng Jiang. I was also a visiting student at Argonne National Laboratory, advised by Sheng Di, Robert Underwood, and Franck Cappello (2023 - 2026). Before coming to UIowa, I earned my Master's degree in Computer Science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2021), and my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Jilin University (2018).

My research focuses on emerging dataflow accelerators, AI systems, high-performance computing, data compression, compiler design.

Ph.D. Openings: I am actively recruiting self-motivated Ph.D. students. If you are interested, please send me an email with your CV and a brief description of research interests.
