Summary
Wai Luk is an associate professor at Fudan University with over two decades of experience spanning academic research and industrial R&D in VLSI physical design and algorithms. He holds a PhD in Computer Science & Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and completed postdoctoral work at KU Leuven, bringing strong theoretical foundations to practical tooling. Prior to academia he implemented physical synthesis capabilities at Synopsys, combining algorithm and data-structure design with production-grade software engineering. His research focuses on clock skew scheduling, clock tree synthesis and design-for-manufacturability, and his work on multi-domain clock skew scheduling has been singled out by peers for its elegant algorithmic contribution. Based in Shanghai, he has published extensively in refereed venues and bridges rigorous theory with hands-on implementation experience. An understated strength is his ability to translate complex mathematical techniques into robust, maintainable code used in commercial CAD flows.
