Mei Yang

Mei Yang is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Her research focuses on computer architectures, interconnection networks, machine learning, embedded systems, and wireless sensor networks. She leads the Networking and System Integration Laboratory (NSIL), advancing interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of hardware design and intelligent systems.

Education

• Ph.D., Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas, 2003

Research Interests

Dr. Yang's work spans network-on-chip (NoC) architectures, thermal-aware task management, and deep learning applications in microscopy and environmental monitoring. She explores energy-efficient computing, cybersecurity in many-core systems, and educational strategies to engage girls in STEM through hands-on projects like IoT and embedded systems.

Articles Trends

Her recent publications emphasize hardware security (e.g., thermal covert channels), AI-driven biomedical image analysis, and optimizing multi-chiplet systems. She bridges theoretical contributions with practical implementations, such as FPGA-based NoC emulators and GAN-based protein localization tools.

Labs & Teams

Hosts the NSIL lab, fostering collaborations in photonic networks-on-chip, embedded systems, and cybersecurity. Active in IEEE and ACM conferences, organizing special sessions on high-performance computing and network coding.
