About
I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC Santa Cruz working with José Renau in the MASC group.
I received an MS in Computer Science from Cornell University in May 2025, where I was advised by Adrian Sampson in the Capra group.
Prior to that, I received a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Environmental Engineering from Cornell University in May 2023, where I was advised by Fengqi You in the PEESE group. I also obtained a BE in Environmental Engineering in Zhejiang University.
I am interested in Computer Architecture, Compilers, and AI agents. At the UCSC MASC group, I'm working on building an agentic system for chip design. At the Cornell Capra group, I worked on the CIRCT project, the Calyx project, and the Allo project to build an open-source high-level synthesis tool flow from PyTorch to FPGA to accelerate ML models. At the Cornell PEESE group, I worked on developing multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithms for demand response in smart cities.
Name Pronounciation: my first name is pronounced as "ja-han"; my last name is pronouced "shieh".

Miscellany
Hobbies
- I love music, especially classical music - I began learning the violin after starting college and had a wonderful experience playing in an enssemble with friends at the Cornell Bowers CIS end-of-year party.
- For sports, I enjoy weight lifting, hiking, and biking - during spring break in 2025, I biked from Washington, DC to New York City over four days.
- I also enjoy wine tasting. I was fortunate to take a wine-tasting course at the Cornell Hotel School, which introduced me to an entirely new world of wine.
