Current Position:

July 1998 -- Present,  Associate Professor

           Computer Science and Engineering Department, Tatung University, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.

Jan. 1999 -- 2001, Director

DVM, Tatung Co.

Employment History:

January 1993 -- May,1998, Ph.D. Student Computer Science Department, Columbia University, New York Responsibilities: Working on Self-timed systems with Professor Stephen Unger. Developed (Synthesis) CAD tools for self-timed systems in C++ with LEDA under Unix. The CAD tools include Hazard-free state minimization, critical-race-free state assignment, hazard-free logic minimization (supervised three MS students during the CAD tools development). Using the CAD tools, designed a self-timed building blocks. The self-timed building blocks are implemented and tested in Xilinx FPGAs (using Viewlogic and Xilinx Xact). C programs can be compiled to the self-timed building blocks and run in Xilinx FPGA Demo board. Designed high speed self-timed adder and comparator. Developed the theory and implementation of hazard-free state minimization.
