Research Summary
Welcome to Tianyu Wang Research Group in the Department of Electical and Computer Engineering at Boston University!
We are interested in studying different forms of information processing that can plausibly exist in natural and artificial systems. For example, by re-examining the connection between photonics and computing, we can gain insights on how to engineer better computing, sensing, and imaging systems that maximally extracts the computing power intrinsically embedded in optical processes. This principle has led to optical processors and neuromorphic processors/sensors that are faster, more sensitive, and more energy efficient than traditional systems solely based on digital electronics.
