Education:

 5/2002-present  The University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX

Ph.D. Candidate in Electrical Engineering (Microelectronic Circuits

and System).

Thesis title: Synchronization for High-Speed Data Transmission

Research Projects:

  • Multiphase Clock Generator Using a New Delay Compensation Technique for Clock/Data Recovery

    Description: Designed and simulated a 1GHz 8-phase clock

    generator using a new delay compensation technique. It can

    generate 8 precisely spaced clocks. This project is a part of

    “A 16GHz 1/8 Rate Clock and Data Recovery Circuit”. The

    8 phases clocks will be used for sampling the input data of the

    clock and data recovery circuit. The process used in this design

    is 0.18µm TSMC CMOS technology.

    Tools: Cadence (Analog Artist Simulator, Virtuoso).

  • A 1GHz Phase-Locked Loop

    Description: Designed and simulated a 1GHz phase-locked loop

    using self-biasing technique. This project fabricated as a chip.

    The process used in this project is 0.25µm TSMC CMOS

    technology.

    Tools: Cadence (Analog Artist Simulator, Virtuoso)
