Mission 2005:
|
Li: My continuous mission is to make the students successful. Then, I would like to make my friends successful. When everyone around me is successful, I am successful. |
| Charles: Demonstrate that his novel functional TPG approach can indeed work on industrial designs. Publish 6 papers by the end of the year. |
| Leonard: Establish theoretical foundations for his current research results. Develop practical and efficient solutions for post-silicon timing validation. |
| Benjamin: Answer the fundamental question: Do we need statistical timing in pre-silicon analysis? |
| Hui: Develop a project to apply test data mining techniques in analog designs |
| Sean: Pass screening exam. Publish 2 papers on test data mining techniques |
| Onur: Pass screening exam. Develop a project by applying computational learning in design verification. |
| Talayeh: Develop a project on improving design-silicon correlation |
