People

Join eLab

We are interested in working with motivated students who are excited about energy-efficient computing systems, computer architecture, embedded systems, chiplet-based design, AI/LLM acceleration, design automation, runtime systems, thermal modeling, wearable sensing, and hardware/software co-design.

Prospective graduate students, undergraduate researchers, and visiting students are encouraged to review our research areas, publications, and public releases to learn more about current projects.

Interested candidate should submit their CV to uogras@wisc.edu with the subject line “New eLab researcher”
