Wayne Cheng

Originally from Taiwan, I moved to the US at age 26 for undergraduate studies in Information Systems, followed by a master’s in computer science at Texas A&M – Commerce and a PhD at Kent State University. My dissertation focused on MRI-based image segmentation using GPU-accelerated fuzzy methods with CUDA. Throughout my education, I taught programming courses (C++, Visual Basic, C#, Java, Python), ran PC building and repair workshops, and worked as a Network Consultant. My research interests center on quantum computing combined with classical HPC, specifically randomized sample-based quantum diagonalization for efficiently estimating spectral properties of large quantum systems.
