Hello & Welcome !

Information technology has inevitably entered the landscape of design for sustainability. Founded in 2014, SAIL aims at creating technological inventions and innovations that could eventually open the door for a new class of intelligent computing system (in terms of sustainability, scalability, manageability, reliability, etc). We seek to forge interdisciplinary, cutting-edge initiatives that transcend conventional computer architecture research. Our members conduct research on emerging hardware and software designs that drive the sustainable evolution of computer systems of any kind, thereby creating a healthy and prosperous human life in harmony with nature. We sincerely invite you to explore this website to learn more about our current projects, to get connected with our brilliant members, and to find out how you can collaborate with us.

Dr. Chao Li
