Dayane Reis, PhD

Dr. Dayane Reis is an assistant professor in the Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Computing, University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, FL. Dr. Reis received her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 2022, under the direction of Dr. Xiaobo Sharon Hu and Dr. Michael Niemier. She also received the M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2016, and the B.S. in Electronic Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2012. Dr. Reis’s research exploits beyond CMOS technologies for the design of fast, energy-efficient, and reliable bio-inspired hardware accelerator kernels that can be used in a wide range of data-intensive application scenarios, including the training and inference of different machine learning models. She is the author of more than 45 articles in journals such as IEEE TVLSI, IEEE TCAD, IEEE Design and Test, and Nature Electronics, as well as renowned conferences including DAC, DATE, ICCAD, ISLPED, and ASP-DAC. Dr. Reis was one of the two winners of the best paper award at the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and Low Power Design in 2018 (ISLPED’18) for her paper “Computing in memory with FeFETs”, and a recipient of the Cadence Women in Technology (WIT) Scholarship 2018/2019.
