Biresh Kumar Joardar

Biresh Kumar Joardar is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering. He holds a BE from Jadavpur University (2016) and PhD from Washington State University (2020), with postdoctoral training at Duke University as a Computing Innovation Fellow.

His research integrates machine learning with hardware design to develop efficient deep learning accelerators, ReRAM-based architectures, and heterogeneous manycore systems. Current projects focus on enhancing reliability, security, and performance of AI hardware through in-memory computing and 3D integration techniques.

Research themes include hardware security (e.g., Rowhammer mitigation), fault-tolerant neural network training, and hardware-software co-design for bioinformatics. Recent articles explore energy-efficient architectures for graph neural networks and cross-layer optimization for AI workloads.

Awards:

• Best Paper Award, International Symposium on Networks-on-Chip (NOCS 2019)

Joardar leads the Heterogeneous and In-Memory Computing Lab, seeking PhD students with backgrounds in VLSI, computer architecture, or machine learning. His work has been supported by NSF and industry partnerships.
