Biography
ang received the BS degree from Tsinhua University, China, MS degree from the Chinese Academy of Science, and PhD degree from State University of New York at Buffalo, all in EE, in 1985, 1988 and 1996, respectively.
Wang has more than six years of Hi-Tech industry experiences, most recently with National Semiconductor Corp., Santa Clara, CA, from 1995 to 1998, as a Staff R&D Engineer. From 1998 to 2007, he was a Faculty member at the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and directed the Integrated Electronics Laboratory at IIT. Since 2007, Wang joined the University of California, Riverside, as Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director for the Laboratory for Integrated Circuits and Systems.
Wang's research interests center on RF/Analog/Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits (IC), Advanced on-Chip ESD (electrostatic Discharge) Protection for ICs, Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC), IC CAD and Modeling,Nano and Emerging Devices and Circuits, etc. His research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the global semiconductor industries.
Wang's teaching interests concentrate on semiconductor integrated circuits. He prefers to prepare students with industry-desired skills by challenging them with application-oriented problems and familiarizing them with industrial standard design methodology and tools.
Wang's academic credits include one book entitled “On-Chip ESD Protection for Integrated Circuits” (Kluwer, 2002), more than 140 peer-reviewed papers and six U.S. patents. Wang received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2002 and University Research Award from Illinois Institute of Technology in 2003. Wang has been serving on the editorial boards for IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I & II, IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, etc. He is an elected AdCom and ExCom member of IEEE Electron Devices Society, and serves as Vice President for IEEE Electron Devices Society. Wang has been an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for the Electron Devices Society and the Solid-State Circuits Society since 2001. Wang received the ChunHui Scholar Award from the Ministry of Education of China in 2006 He is committee member for the SIA International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS), the IEEE EDS VLSI Technology and Circuits Committee and the IEEE CAS Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee (ASPTC). He has been serving as Program co-Chair, Organization co-Chair, Steering Committee Member, TPC Member, Subcommittee Chair and Session Chair for numerous IEEE conferences, such as, CICC, ISCAS and RFIC, etc. He has delivered numerous invited technical talks at academic/industrial forums around the world and is an active consultant to the semiconductor industries. Wang is Fellow of IEEE.
