Yuxiang Chen

Welcome to my page! My name is Yuxiang(Bill) Chen. I am a 2nd year MSEE student with concentrations in VLSI design and Embedded Systems at Columbia University, where I am advised by Prof. Mingoo Seok. I previously received my BSEE degree at University of Washington, Seattle. My senior VLSI capstone was advised by Prof. Visvesh Sathe in 2015. I also received a minor degree in Mathematics. Here are a list of major courses I have taken before.

My interest lies in hardware programming. My expertise includes ASIC design, VLSI Physical design and Design Verification. In addition, I have strong orientation in strategic planning, project management and team management. I also have experience in researching at Ubiquitous Computing Lab and RTLab at UW, which honed my problem-solving skills and explored my creatively.

My research interests include low-power and variation tolerant VLSI circuit and system design. My current research topic is to design novel circuit tree to reduce the overhead of four-phase handshake in Clock-Domain Crossing(CDC) utilizing Error Detection and Correction(EDAC) technique.

I'm currently working for Google.
I was a graduate RA for Prof. Mingoo Seok's VLSI Lab at Columbia University. My research topic is EDAC in Clock-domain Crossing(CDC).
I was a TA for Zoran Kostic's graduate ECMB E4040 Neural Networks & Deep Learning course at Columbia.
I was a TA for Zoran Kostic's graduate EECS6766 Internet of Things(IoT) course at Columbia, taught Summer 2016.
I interned with the end device team at Olinkstar the summer of 2015. I worked as an Embedded Systems Engineer.
I was a TA for Bruce Hemingway's undergraduate CSE131 Science of Digital Photograph course at UW, taught Autumn 2012, Spring 2013, Spring 2014 and Spring 2015.
I was a undergraduate RA for Allan Ecker's RTLab, I presented my work in the 2015 Undergraduate Research Symposium at University of Washington.
