Li Rui, a senior undergraduate student from the research group of Professor Ha Yajun, had a paper accepted by ACM / IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC 2020) (Paper title: DVFS-Based Scrubbing Scheduling for Reliability Maximization on Parallel Tasks in SRAM-based FPGAs) as the first author. This is Li Rui’s second scientific paper accepted by international conferences in this year. His first ...

Digital electronic computer is the driving force that fuels our modern civilization. Modern computation has allowed the development of ever-increasing computing power by size scaling following the Moore’s Law. However, since the size scaling of CMOS technology has shown evidence of approaching a limit due to increased power density at small technology nodes, conventional digital computation using...

Recently, Professor Liu Yu’s group from Center for Intelligent Power and Energy Systems (CiPES) of SIST, proposed two accurate fault location methods on long and complex transmission lines. These two papers were published online in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, the best peer-reviewed journal in the field of power system protection, transmission and distribution. High-voltage long...

Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs), which integrate both topology and magnetism within one system, have greatly broadened the research scope of quantum materials and spintronics. In contrast to the traditional magnetic atom doping method, MTI heterostructures, which can be realized by the combination of a topological insulator and a high-temperature magnetic material, have unique advantages. I...

Recently, the paper acceptance results of the 19th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS-2020) and the 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2020) have been announced. Five papers from Professor Zhao Dengji's research group of SIST were accepted. It is worth mentioning that the first authors of the accepted papers are n...

DREAM 2019 Challenge organizers recently announced competition and the ShanghaiTech team from SIST named “SingleCellLand” won the Third Place (out of 291 teams worldwide) in the first sub-challenge. The team was guided by Professor Zheng Jie, the director of SIST’s Smart Medical Information Research Center (SMIRC). Other team members include Professor Zheng’s master’s degree students Dai Xinn...

Recently, Professor Shao Ziyu’s research group made a breakthrough in fundamental theory of networking, solving an open problem: how to systematically design effective large-scale network topology? Their article “Systematic Topology Design for Large-Scale Networks: A Unified Framework” was accepted by IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications (IEEE INFOCOM 2020).In the field of n...

The 2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO) was held in Dali, Yunnan, from Dec 6th to 8th.
