Haitong Li

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 2022, where I was advised by Prof. H.-S. Philip Wong. I was a visiting researcher with Silicon Research Group at Meta (formerly Facebook) Reality Labs.

I lead the NanoX Lab @ Purdue. My research interests are in the new memory device technologies, circuit designs, and 3D integration for energy-efficient computing towards ubiquitous machine intelligence. To date, I have published over 60 papers broadly across the technology stack (IEDM, VLSI, ISSCC, JSSC, DAC, ISCA, Nature Electronics) with over 4100 citations and an h-index of 27. My past work was featured as part of the “New Compute Trajectories for Energy-Efficient Computing” in SRC’s pivotal roadmap, “The Decadal Plan for Semiconductors”. I was an invited participant in the 2025 Japan-America Frontiers of Engineering Symposium co-organized by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, and received 2019 IEEE EDS PhD Fellowship and 2016 IEEE EDS Masters Fellowship (as the only recipient in U.S. in respective years).

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new ideas, places and life projects with my wife Dr. Yidi Liu, who is an American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certified Orthodontist serving the Greater Lafayette area.

Openings in NanoX Lab @ Purdue ECE:
I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D. and M.S. students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate researchers to join my NanoX Lab at Purdue ECE.
