LIANG Siyuan, a PhD student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, received the 3rd Place in DAC (62nd Design Automation Conference) PhD Forum.
Mr. Liang is a final-year Ph.D. candidate supervised by Prof. Tsung-Yi Ho. He has authored several papers published in top-tier conferences and journals, including DAC’ 25, ICCAD’ 24, DAC’ 24, ICCAD’ 23, ICCAD’ 22, and TCAD. His research focuses on enhancing the reliability and efficiency of microfluidic systems through advanced automation techniques, contributing to innovations in lab-on-a-chip devices, biomedical applications, and scalable fluidic architectures. By developing novel methodologies, he has helped advance the field toward more robust and high-performance microfluidic designs.
DAC (Design Automation Conference) is the longest-running and largest conference in the field of EDA. The Ph.D. Forum at the DAC is a poster session hosted by ACM SIGDA and IEEE CEDA for Ph.D. students to present and discuss their dissertation research with people in the EDA community. It has become one of the premier forums for Ph.D. students in design automation to get feedback on their research and for industry to see academic work in progress: hundreds of people attended the last forums. The Best Presentation Award is selected by a dedicated committee at the Ph.D. Forum (taking the submitted summarization of students’ research as well as the actual presentation into account).
