Yuewen Hou (侯悦文) Email: isaachyw@umich.edu CV: [pdf] GitHub: github.com/isaachyw Google Scholar: Google Scholar LinkedIn: LinkedIn I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am advised by Professor Gokul Ravi. I study quantum computing systems and architecture. My current interests include Realistic quantum simulation, Error suppression and correction, quantum controller architecture, and (Variational) Quantum Algorithms. I obtained my bachelor's degree (double major in CS and ECE) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Michigan, where I had the fortune to work with Prof. Baris Kasikci on efficient data center processor design, Prof. Brendan Kochunas on HPC for neutron transport calculations, and Prof. Tim Byrnes on measurement-based photonic quantum computing.

Books

Non-academic

When I am free, I play the alto saxophone and enjoy many sports (basketball, rock climbing, weightlifting, etc.). I listen to a lot of music (jpop(city pop), Electronic, Rock, etc.). I like photography and traveling with my Canon 90D. I have a cat named Spin and a puppy named Lafite.
