Xiaopeng Duan is an RD Engineer based in Austin with nine years of experience bridging beyond-CMOS device research and practical VLSI circuit design. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from NC State, where he developed novel device concepts, simulated physics-based device behavior, and built logic-circuit benchmarks that informed architecture-level tradeoffs. At Synopsys he applies deep C++ and Python expertise alongside algorithm and computer-architecture knowledge to translate advanced device ideas into implementable design flows and verification. His background uniquely spans hands-on device physics, system-on-chip simulation with SystemC, and production-oriented VLSI physical design. Known for combining rigorous academic research with industry-grade engineering, he brings a rare ability to evaluate how emerging materials and phenomena impact real-world architecture and CAD tooling.
