Short Bio: Zhuo Zou received his Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Computer Systems from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 2012. Currently, he is with Fudan University Shanghai as a Full Professor, where he is conducting research on intelligent chips and systems for AIoT. Prior to joining Fudan, he was the assistant director and a project leader at VINN iPack Excellence Center, KTH, Sweden. His current research interests include low-power circuits, energy-efficient SoC, neuromorphic computing, and their applications in AIoT and autonomous systems. Dr. Zou has also been an adjunct professor and docent at the University of Turku, Finland. He is vice chairman of IFIP WG-8.12 and a senior member of IEEE.
