Bio (long version)
Dr. Weiwen Jiang joined George Mason University in Fall 2021 as an Assistant Professor. He was a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Sustainable Computing Laboratory (SCL) at the University of Notre Dame, which is directed by Prof. Yiyu Shi. He received his Ph.D. from Chongqing University in 2019. From 2017 to 2019, he complete his Ph.D. thesis in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh under the supervision of Prof. Jingtong Hu.
Weiwen Jiang has published more than 80 research articles in refereed international conferences and premier journals, including 10+ IEEE/ACM Transactions papers. He is the recipient of the NSF CAREER AWARD 2025, ACM Sigda Meritorious Service Award 2024, the Best Paper Award in IEEE QuantumWeek 2023, IEEE TCAD 2021, NVMSA’15 and ICCD’17, the Best Paper Nomination in ASP-DAC’16, DAC’19, CODES+ISSS’19, and ASP-DAC’20 Best Poster Award in ORNL’s Quantum Computing User Forum 2023, First Place of the 31st ACM SIGDA University Demonstration at DAC 2021, Second Place of the 32nd ACM SIGDA University Demonstration at DAC 2022, and Top Winning Awards at IEEE Services Hackathon 2020. To date (i.e., Feb 2025), his works are supported by varied funding sources with over 14M(USD) in total with over 1.8M(USD) personal share secured, including federal and industry funding from NSF IIS, NSF OAC Core, NSF Cybertraining, NSF CAREER AWARD, DoE ASCR ARQC MACH-Q, DoE NSEC Quantum Sensing, ARO: DURIP, NSF I/UCRC, Facebook Research Award, and Leidos.
Dr. Jiang served as the Technical Track Co-Chair at IEEE QuantumWeek (2023-2025), Associate Editor at IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems - II: Express Briefs (2022-2023), the Guest Editor for the Special Issue “Quantum Machine Learning: Theory, Methods and Applications” at Electronics, and the Guest Editor for ISCAS Special Issue at IEEE TCAS-II. He created the Quantum System Stability and Reproducibility Workshop (StableQ) workshop, and Tiny and Fair ML Design Competition at IEEE/ACM ESWEEK 2023. He also serves as Technical Program Committee (TPC) member in DAC, ICCAD, SC, DATE, ASP-DAC, ASAP, GLSVLIS, SAC, ISVLSI, SRF@ASP-DAC, LBR@DAC, AEC@RTSS. Besides, he is the reviewer of many premier journals, including IEEE Transactions on Computers (TC), IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD), IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (TVLSI), IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC), IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (TNNLS), ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES), etc.
