Summary
Weikang Qian is an Assistant Professor at the UM–SJTU Joint Institute with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota and a B.Eng. from Tsinghua University. He specializes in computer-aided design for integrated circuits, circuit design for emerging technologies, and fault-tolerant/probabilistic techniques for digital circuits, blending algorithmic logic synthesis with hands-on circuit tools like Virtuoso and HSPICE. His doctoral work earned a University of Minnesota Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship and a paper nomination for the William J. McCalla Best Paper Award at ICCAD, reflecting a strong record in electronic design automation research. He brings practical verification experience from an IBM Research internship where he implemented sequential circuit equivalence checking software. Comfortable across C/C++, Matlab, scripting and parallel programming, he combines system-level synthesis insight with low-level circuit implementation skills. Based in China, he has spent eight years translating academic research into robust CAD methods and resilient circuit designs.
