Works — Tingyu Cheng

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in Ka moamoa lab at Georgia Tech with my lovely Josiah Hester working on sustainable computational materials.

I will be joining the University of Notre Dame (ND) Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) as a tenure-track assistant professor starting in June 2025. I will be leading Internet of Material (IoM) Lab to build sustainable but resilient interactive devices.

I am also recruiting students (2-3 PhD, 1 Postdoc) for the 2025 admission cycle, as well as summer research interns with background from ECE, CS, ME, Design. If you are interested in topics of sustainability, printed electronics, fabrication, energy harvesting, embedded systems, neuromorphic computing, life cycle assessment (LCA).

Please fill out this form first or shoot me an email (tcheng32@gatech.edu).
