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, advised by Professor Gokul Ravi. I work on quantum computing systems and architecture, with interests in realistic quantum simulation, error suppression and correction, quantum controller architecture, and variational quantum algorithms. I earned my bachelor's degree (double major in CS and ECE) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Michigan. Previously, I worked 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

Outside of research, I play the alto saxophone and stay active (basketball, rock climbing, weightlifting). I listen to a lot of music (J-pop/city pop, electronic, rock), and I shoot photos while traveling with my Canon 90D. I have a cat named Spin and a puppy named Lafite.
