My B.S. degree is from Tianjin University, China; my M.S. degree from Polytechnic Institute of New York (now <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.nyu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York University Tandon School of Engineering<\/a>); and my Ph.D. degree from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purdue University<\/a>. I worked for General Motors Research Labs for almost 4 years before I started my academic career. Between 1993 and 1996, I was an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at <a href=\"https:\/\/wmich.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Western Michigan University<\/a>, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through my many years of research, I have developed a wide range of research interests and expertise including <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>power, temperature, and reliability-aware system-level design,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>circuit and architecture design with emerging technologies, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>resource management for real-time embedded systems, <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>algorithm and hardware co-design for medical applications, and <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>computer-aided design of VLSI circuits and systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have had the privilege of working with many talented students and colleagues, and authored\/co-authored over 450 referred papers. I received the Best Paper Award from the ACM\/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) in 2001; from the IEEE Symposium on Nanoscale Architectures (NanoArch) in 2009; from the ACM\/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED) in 2018; and from International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) in 2023. One of my papers was named one of \u201cThe Most Influential Papers of 10 Years Design, Automation, and Test in Europe Conference (DATE)\u201d. I also received numerous research grants from both the U.S. government agencies and private industry. I have participated in several large industry and government-sponsored center-level projects. I received the CAREER award from the U.S. National Science Foundation in 1997. I was a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Council of Electronic Design Automation. I received the Marie R. Pistilli Women in Engineering Achievement Awar in 2023. I am a Fellow of the ACM and a Fellow of the IEEE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have contributed to the community through various service roles. I was the Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (<a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/journal\/todaes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TODAES<\/a>) between 2020-2024. I also served as Associate Editor for ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, IEEE Transactions on VLSI, and on the editorial board of IEEE Design and Test Magazine; and is an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on CAD. I was the General Chair of <a href=\"https:\/\/dac.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DAC<\/a> in 2018 and the TPC co-chair of DAC in 2015 and 2016.
