Xin Xin

Xin Xin is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Central Florida since 2023, specializing in computer architecture with emphasis on memory systems and reliable hardware.

Her educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Pittsburgh (2023)
• Master's degree from Tsinghua University (2016)
• Bachelor's degree from Lanzhou University (2013)

Research focuses on resilient memory subsystems, domain-specific architectures, and hardware/software reliability. Key areas include processing-in-memory designs for databases, chip-kill ECC schemes, hybrid NVM-DRAM systems, and neural network accelerator reliability. Her work bridges computer architecture with IC design and semiconductor devices.

Recent publications (2019-2022) demonstrate consistent contributions to memory hierarchy optimization across top conferences (MICRO, DAC, HPCA), featuring techniques for DRAM latency reduction, cache security, and in-memory processing. The research shows progression toward energy-efficient, fault-tolerant memory systems applicable to databases and AI workloads.

She actively recruits PhD students for computer architecture research and serves as a journal reviewer for IEEE Computer Architecture Letters and Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems. Current projects include low-cost processing-in-memory for in-memory databases and reliable neural network accelerators.
