Biography of Dr. Youn-Long Lin
Youn-Long Lin is professor of computer science and Dean of Research
& Development at National Tsing Hua University. He was born in Yun-Lin,
Taiwan. He received his B.S. degree in electronics engineering from
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (formerly,
National Taiwan Institute of Technology), Taipei, Taiwan, in 1982,
and his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign, IL, U.S.A. in 1987. Upon his graduation, he joined
National Tsing Hua University, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan, where he
established the THEDA Group (Tsing Hua EDA), served as Director of
the University Computer and Communication Center, Chairman of the
Department of Computer Science, Secretariat General of the
University and Chief Librarian of the University Library. He is also
an adjunct professor of Peking University, Beijing and a guest
professor of Waseda University, Japan.
Between 1977-1979, Dr. Lin was in
military service with Chung Cheng Armed Forces Preparatory School as
a Second Lieutenant. In 1979-1980, he was with Taiwan Cement Corp.
as a field instrument engineer. In 1981-1983, he was with the Atomic
Power Division of Taiwan Power Corp. as a mini-computer system
administrator and database AP developer. In 1984-1987, he was a
research assistant with the Department of Computer Science,
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA. In 1998-1999, on
sabbatical leave from Tsing Hua, he co-founded Global UniChip Corp.,
a SOC Design Foundry, serving as its Chief Technical Advisor.
Between 2001 and 2003, he took a leave-of-absence from Tsing Hua
working for UniChip as its Chief Technical Officer and Executive
Vice President.
Professor Lin's primary research interest is in computer-aided
design (CAD) of very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI) with
emphasis on physical design automation and high-level synthesis. He
co-authored the book "High Level Synthesis -- Introduction to Chip
and System Design." He also spend great effort in promoting the VLSI
design and CAD education in Taiwan. His current research focus is on
design technology for System-on-a-Chips (SOC) employing reusable
silicon intellectual properties (IPs).
He has served on program committee, organizing committee, steering
committee, and executive committee for several conferences and
workshops on various aspects of CAD including the Design Automation
Conference(DAC), the International Conference on CAD(ICCAD), the
Asia South-Pacific Conference on Design Automation(ASPDAC), the Asia
Pacific Conference on Hardware
Description Languages(APCHDL), the workshop on Synthesis And System
Integration of MIxed technology(SASIMI), the International Symposium
on System Synthesis(ISSS), the International Symposium on Physical
Design (ISPD), the ACM Embedded Software Conference (EMSOFT), the
International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test
(VLSI-DAT), the International SOC Conference (ISOCC), and the
VLSI/CAD Symposium of Taiwan. Professor Lin has also served on the
editorial boards of the ACM Transactions on Design Automation of
Electronic Systems (TODAES) , the ACM Transactions on Embedded
Computing Systems (TECS) , Journal of the Chinese Engineering
Society, and the Journal of Information Science and Engineering (JISE)
.
Dr. Lin has been a consultant to the Institute for Information
Industry (III), the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI),
the Electronic Research and Service Organization (ERSO), and the
Computer and Communication research Laboratory (CCL). He is an
advisor of the Science and Technology Advisory Office, Ministry of
Education, R.O.C., in charge of VLSI design education
program, and a co-PI of the Chip and System Implementation Center (CIC)
program of the National Science Council (NSC), R.O.C. He also served
on Intel's Asia-Pacific Advisory Board and advisory boards of
several EDA and consumer electronics startups. He is an independent
board member of Etron Technology Inc.
Professor Lin
received a national fellowship for studying abroad from the Ministry
of Education, R.O.C. in 1983, co-received the Outstanding Young
Author Award from the IEEE Circuit and System Society in 1990, the
Outstanding Design Award from the ASP-DAC University LSI Design
Contest in 2000, and received the Highest-Honored Research Award
from the NSC three
consecutive times in 1992, 1994, and 1996. He has been an NSC
research fellow since 1998.
Dr. Lin is a senior member of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society,
the IEEE Circuit and System Society, the IEEE Solid State Circuit
Society, and the Association for Computing Machinery. He is a board
member of the Taiwan IC Design Society. He is elected the president
of Taiwan Integrated Circuit Design Society (TICD) for 2005-06. He
is a nation-certified electrical engineer.
