Hi there! This is Zhuofan (Henry) Lin, a first-year Ph.D. student at HKUST(GZ) under the supervision of Prof. Shiju Lin, co-supervised by Prof. Hongce Zhang. Prior to this, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Computer and Communication Systems Engineering with Honours from Universiti Putra Malaysia in 2025 where I first became interested in EDA research under the supervision of Prof. Fakhrul Zaman Rokhani during final year project. During my bachelor study, I also had the privilege of being as a research intern at Shanghai Jiao Tong University under the guidance of Prof. Yongfu Li.

My current research interests focus on electronic design automation (EDA), especially in the area of GPU-accelerated algorithms. Meanwhile, I am also interested in AI infra.

Apart from academics, I enjoy hiking, photography, playing guitar, and cooking.
