RESUME

He was the leading designer of chips including AC-DC chip, DC-DC chip, LED lighting chip, LED driving chip, linear lithium charging chip and switched lithium charging chip. In recent years, he led the design of Phase change random access memory (PCRAM) chip. He has published more than 40 academic papers and applied for more than 60 invention patents. 

EDUCATION

From September 1983 to July 1990, he studied in the Department of Electronic Engineering of Xi’an Jiaotong University and received his bachelor’s and master’s degree; from September 1993 to October 1996, he studied in VLSI Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and received his doctor’s degree

work EXPERIENCE

He worked in the VLSI Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Belling Co., Ltd., China Resources Powtech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Right Core Electronic Corporation (HK) successively. In December 2008, he joined the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
