Prof. Lei Wang

Lei Wang received the B.S. degree and the M.S. degree from Tsinghua University, China, in 1992 and 1996, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001.

During the summer of 1999, Dr. Wang worked at Microprocessor Research Laboratories, Intel Corporation, in Hillsboro, OR, where his work involved development of high-speed and noise-tolerant VLSI circuits and design methodologies. From December 2001 to July 2004, he was with Microprocessor Technology Laboratories, Hewlett-Packard Company, in Fort Collins, CO, where he participated in the design of the first dual-core multi-threaded Itanium® Architecture Processor, a joint project between Intel and Hewlett-Packard. Since August 2004, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Connecticut.

Dr. Wang is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. He was a member of IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Committee on Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems. He has been serving as a Senior Area Editor for the IEEE Signal Processing Letters since 2014, and on the Steering Committee of the IEEE Transactions on Multi-Scale Computing Systems. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Computers from 2010 to 2014, and an Associate Editor for the IEEE Signal Processing Letters from 2012 to 2014. He also served as a Guest Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing and a Guest Editor for the Springer Journal of Signal Processing Systems. Dr. Wang is a Senior Member of IEEE.

Currently I am recruiting two graduate students for RA positions starting Spring or Fall 2024. I am looking for highly motivated students with background in the following areas: VLSI circuits and systems, nanotechnologies, nanodevice fabrication and testing, and nanocomputing. US citizenship or permanent residency is required. Please send your resume or make an appointment with me if interested.
