Education
Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio September 2013 – July 2015
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
Dalian Jiaotong University, Liaoning, China September 2009 – July 2013
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Automation
Projects
8-bit Arithmetic-Logic-Unit Design
Designed 8-bit Arithmetic-Logic-Unit (ALU) schematic by using transistor level (TSMC 180nm).
Used arithmetic extenders and logic extenders to modify logic operations.
Demonstrated success as the ALU performed the basic arithmetic and logic operations in a microprocessor.
Booth Multiplier Design and Time Optimization
Implemented transistor level (TSMC 180nm) as the fundamental building blocks.
Optimized the sizing of each transistor-level circuit block and handcrafted layout to decrease area.
Simulated the waveform to determine propagation delay and verify function.
Optimization of 32-bit Adder/Subtractor
Designed a 32-bit Adder/Subtractor with carry-in and carry-out by transistor level (TSMC 180nm).
Implemented 32-bit Adder/Subtractor by 1-bit 28-T adder and 1-bit mirror adder for decreasing delay.
Applied critical path Isolation method to boost the clock frequency by 20% and scale down overall power consumption
by 15%.
Sequential Circuit Testing
Applied Iterative Logic Array (ILA) multiple time-frame method for sequential circuit test generation.
Used Synopsys TetraMax to determine test patterns of the Iterative Logic Array time-frame circuit.
Work Experience
Right Education May 2014 – June 2014
English Instructor Shenyang, Liaoning
Prepared class materials and lesson plans for Middle School and High School students.
Lectured English Linguistics with a focus in pronunciation and listening skills.
Demonstrated strong improvements with 70% satisfaction rate in Speaking and Listening, as well as a 60% increase in
exam grades.
Dalian Jiaotong University September 2011 -– June 2013
Assistant & Translator Dalian, Liaoning
