Patrick Chiang

Patrick Chiang (M'05) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA, in 1998, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, in 2001 and 2007, respectively. He is an Associate Professor (on sabbatical) with Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA. He currently is a 1000-Talents Young Foreign Experts Professor with the ASIC & System State Key Laboratory, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. In 1998, he was a Staff Engineer with Datapath Systems (acquired by LSI), designing xDSL front-ends. In 2003, he was a Research Engineer with Velio Communications (acquired by Rambus), working on 10 GHz PLLs. In 2004, he was a Principal Engineer Consultant with Telegent Systems (acquired by Spreadtrum), working on low-noise LC oscillators. In 2006, he was a visiting National Research Foundation (NSF) Research Fellow with Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, investigating low-power RF transceivers. In 2007, he was a Visiting Professor with the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, where he worked on the Godson microprocessor, designing high-speed serial link transceivers. His research group has published more than 100 conference/journal papers in the area of energy-efficient circuits and systems, including: near-threshold wireline transceivers, silicon photonics and 25G optical transceivers, reliable near-threshold computing, and energy-constrained biomedical sensors. Dr. Chiang was the recipient of a 2010 Department of Energy Early CAREER Award and a 2012 NSF CAREER Award, for energy-efficient interconnects and robust near-threshold computing. He is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems and on the technical program committee for the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference.
