Biography
Dr. Yu Hao obtained his B.S. degree from Fudan University (Shanghai China) in 1999, with 4-year first-prize Guanghua scholarship (top-2) and 1-year Samsung scholarship for the outstanding student in science and engineering (top-1). After selected by mini-cuspea program, he spent some time in New York University, and obtained M.S/Ph. D degrees both from electrical engineering department at UCLA in 2007, with major of integrated circuit and embedded computing. He was a senior research staff at Berkeley Design Automation (BDA) since 2006, one of top-100 start-ups selected by Red-herrings at Silicon Valley. Since October 2009, he is an assistant professor at school of electrical and electronic engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.

Dr. Yu Hao has 88 peer-reviewed and referred publications [conference (62) and journal (26)], 2 book, 4 book chapters, 1 best paper award in ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES), 1 best student paper award (SiRF'13), 3 best paper award nominations (DAC’06, ICCAD’06, ASP-DAC’12), 1 inventor award from semiconductor research cooperation (SRC), and 2 patent applications in pending. He is the associate editor of Journal of low power electronics, reviewer of IEEE TCAD, TCAS-I/II, TVLSI, ACM-TODAEs, VLSI Integration, technical program committee member and session chair of several conferences (ICCAD’10-12, ASP-DAC’11-12, ISCAS’10-12, ICCD’11-12, NANOARCH’12, IWS’13, ISQED’09). The industry work at BDA is also recognized with an EDN magazine innovation award and multi-million venture capital funding.
