I received my B.S. and M.S. from Fudan University, Shanghai, P. R. China, in 1992 and 1995 respectively and the Ph.D. from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in 1999. Here are my latest curriculum vitae and short biography. See the latest news for my group.

I am the director of Mixed-Signal Nanometer VLSI Research Lab (MSLAB) at UC Riverside. I am also a cooperating faculty member (co-faculty) of Computer Science and Engineering department and a participating faculty member in Laboratory for Integrated Circuits and Systems (LICS) group.

Research Interests

My research group focus on several aspects of computer-aided design for VLSI integrated circuits with emphasis on modeling, simulation and optimization for interconnect, mixed-signal/analog/RF circuits, design and optimization techniques for embedded system based on FPGA platforms, and architecture-level thermal and power modeling, analysis and optimizations in deep sub-micron and nanometer VLSI integrated circuits.

Visit Mixed-Signal Nanometer VLSI Research Lab. for details

Specifically, we work on behavioral modeling for mixed-signal, radio-frequency circuits, fast numerical simulation techniques for computing electronic and thermal responses of linear or nonlinear dynamic systems, which model the VLSI integrated circuits in the nanometer regime. Our research area is highly multidisciplinary, dynamic and fast changing and requires electrical, mathematic, and computes science knowledge and strong programming skills.

Openings for Ph.D students:

We have a few Ph.D. student openings now. Student candidates with strong mathematic background and programming skills (CS background) are especially welcome. I am looking for both motivated undergraduate and graduate students.

We are also looking for UCR students who would like to participate the US and China student exchange program during the coming summers. Students will have opportunities to visit China and gain international research experiences. See news for more information about this program.
