- WORK EXPERIENCE
- Member of Technical Staff, Sept,2000 - Present
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
- * Working on Timing Analysis Projects in Cheetah CAD Group.
- Member of Technical Staff, Aug,1997 - Sept,2000
Innoveda, Inc. (formerly Viewlogic System, Inc.)
- * Working in the Signal Integrity Tool Development Group -- principal developer of QUIET and QUIET Expert (an electromagnetic interference simulation tool).
- * Worked in the customer support group for MOTIVE (a timing analysis tool) and XTK(a signal integrity analysis tool), which involves interacting with customer, identifying the problem, building test cases, offering solutions, closed more than 100 email and phone cases in three months.
- * Using C++, developed a program to generate random hierachy designs which has potential to evolve into an automated QA system for EDA tools. A million gate design was generated for POET(a power distribution simulation tool) test.
- Research Associate, Sept,1996 - July,1997
Department of Physics, University of California at San Diego
- * Using quantum many body theory and numerical calculation to determine the stability of different phases in strongly correlated mix-valent systems, predicting new non-linear optical properties and potential application.
- * Physical modeling and mathematical analysis of the behavior of defectons in quantum solid Helium. A complete new phase transition is discovered.
- Research Associate, Sept,1994 - Aug,1996
James Franck Institute, University of Chicago
- * Developed new analytic theory and numerical model for high temperature superconductor. Pointed out alternative explanation for experiment in bi-layer systems.
- * Developed new theory and numerically calculated the phase diagram of the disorder driven metal-insulator phase transition in a weak magnetic field.
- Research Assistant,Sept,1990 - Aug,1994
Department of Physics, University of Maryland
- * Developed the quantum theory of electron-hole system and numerically calculated the photoluminescence spectrum from strong magnetic field induced quantum electronic crystal.
- * Developed scaling theory and performed numerical investigation of the universal critical behavior in disordered two-dimensional systems subject to strong magnetic field. Using similar technique to study behavior of two-dimensional system with random flux.
