Hailong Jiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).His key research area is low-power and variations-resilient VLSI circuit and system design. He is particularly interested in error-resilient systems, approximate computing, machine learning in VLSI, ultra-low voltage circuits, and low-power robust memory circuits. Other areas of interest include emerging devices and circuit techniques, such as 3D integration, carbon electronics, and large area electronics.

The BrainWave project is a good example of how this knowledge can be practically applied. The group is working with the Signal Processing System (SPS) group at TU/e and the Donders Institute at the Radboud University Nijmegen. Jointly, they are researching and developing a wearable brainwave processing platform that enables 24/7 healthcare of epilepsy and Parkinson's Disease patients in non-hospital environments. A novel brainwave processor analyzes and interprets EEG signals that are collected non-invasively by a multi-channel sensor interface.

Hailong Jiao received his BSc in Electronic Information Science and Technology from Shandong University, Shandong, China, in 2004 with the highest honor. He received his MSc in Microelectronics and Solid-State Electronics from the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2008. He obtained his PhD in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2012.

Hailong has worked with IMEC, Leuven, Belgium as a part-time Visiting Researcher and is an Associate Professor in the School of Electronic and Computer Engineering, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School. He is also Visiting Assistant Professor with the Electronic Systems group of TU/e. In addition, he is Associate Editor of Elsevier Microelectronics Journal and World Scientific Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers and a member of several Technical Committees (HiPEAC, MemoCiS, ACM/SIGDA and six IEEE committees). He is member of IEEE, the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
