Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jia Di's research program focuses on the design and implementation of advanced digital circuits and systems, with a particular emphasis on hardware security, asynchronous logic, and the application of deep learning and signal processing techniques to emerging technological challenges. Di is a Principal Investigator on two significant National Science Foundation (NSF) grants. The first, totaling $2,000,000, is for CHIPLETS360, a project aimed at datacenter optimization through a whole-stack approach encompassing novel accounting, design, reuse, and heterogeneous provisioning of chiplets. The second NSF grant, for $399,755, supports collaborative research in deep learning and signal processing using silicon photonics and digital CMOS circuits for ultra-wideband spectrum perception.

Di's scholarly contributions include numerous publications in peer-reviewed venues. Recent work addresses topics such as asynchronous polymorphic logic gates for hardware security, the use of dummy data for RFID tag and reader authentication, and the extraction of semantic information from video for verifying Internet of Things (IoT) events. Additionally, Di has investigated the reconfigurable ASIC implementation of asynchronous recurrent neural networks and built-in self-test methodologies for asynchronous circuits. The researcher's work also extends to the analysis of big data analytics in relation to firm risk and corporate policies, with evidence drawn from China.

With an h-index of 21 and over 1,590 citations across 157 publications, Di is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Cole Sherrill, Chad Workman, Kenneth Mordi, and Hunter Nauman, with whom Di has co-authored multiple publications.
