Associate Professor

Yingyan (Celine) Lin is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and a member of the Machine Learning Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She leads the Efficient and Intelligent Computing (EIC) Lab, which focuses on developing efficient machine learning techniques via cross-layer innovations, spanning from efficient artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to AI hardware accelerators and AI chip design, and aims to foster green AI and ubiquitous AI-powered intelligence. She received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017, and was an assistant professor at Rice University from 2017 to 2022, where she was a finalist for the Dean's Teaching and Research Excellence Award in Spring 2022.

Prof. Lin is a Facebook Research Award (2020), NSF CAREER Award (2021), IBM Faculty Award (2021), and Meta Faculty Research Award (2022) recipient, and received the ACM SIGDA Outstanding Young Faculty Award in 2022. She was selected as a Rising Star in EECS by the 2017 Academic Career Workshop for Women at Stanford University. She received a Best Student Paper Award at the 2016 IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Systems (SiPS 2016), and the 2016 Robert T. Chien Memorial Award for Excellence in Research at UIUC. Prof. Lin has served as the lead PI on multiple multi-university projects and is currently a co-PI on the $30-million JUMP 2.0 center called COCOSYS, and her group has been funded by NSF, NIH, DARPA, SRC, ONR, Qualcomm, Intel, HP, IBM, and Meta. Her group's research won first place in both the ACM SIGDA University Demonstration at DAC 2022 and the ACM/IEEE TinyML Design Contest at ICCAD 2022, and was selected as an IEEE Micro Top Pick of 2023.
