Short Biography
Xin Li received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer
Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA in
2005, and the M.S. and B.S. degrees in Electronics Engineering
from Fudan University, Shanghai, China in 2001 and 1998,
respectively.
He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University,
Pittsburgh, PA. In 2005, he co-founded Xigmix Inc. to
commercialize his PhD research, and served as the Chief
Technical Officer until the company was acquired by Extreme DA
in 2007. In 2011, Extreme DA was further acquired by Synopsis
(Nasdaq: SNPS). From 2009 to 2012, he was the Assistant Director
for FCRP Focus Research Center for Circuit & System
Solutions (C2S2), a national consortium of 13 research
universities (CMU, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, UIUC, UMich,
Columbia, UCLA, among others) chartered by the U.S.
semiconductor industry and U.S. Department of Defense to work on
next-generation integrated circuit design challenges. From 2014
to 2015, he was the Assistant Director for the Center for
Silicon System Implementation (CSSI), a CMU research center with
20 faculty members working on integrated circuits and systems.
His research interests include integrated circuit, signal
processing and data analytics.
Dr. Xin Li was an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. on Biomedical
Engineering (TBME), IEEE Trans. on Computer-Aided Design of
Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD), ACM Trans. on Design
Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES), IEEE Design &
Test (D&T), and Journal of Low Power Electronics (JOLPE). He
was the Guest Editor for IEEE TCAD, IEEE TNANO, IEEE TBD, IEEE
D&T, IEEE JETCAS, ACM TCPS, ACM JETC and VLSI Integration.
He served on the Executive Committee of ACM Special Interest
Group on Design Automation (SIGDA), IEEE Systems, Man, and
Cybernetics Society Technical Committee on Cybernetics for
Cyber-Physical Systems (TCCCPS), and IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on VLSI (TCVLSI). He was the General Chair
of ISVLSI and FAC, and the Technical Program Chair of
CAD/Graphics. He also served on the ACM/SIGDA Outstanding PhD
Dissertation Award Selection Committee, the IEEE TTTC E. J.
McCluskey Best Doctoral Thesis Selection Committee, the IEEE
Outstanding Young Author Award Selection Committee, the
Executive Committee of ISVLSI, GLSVLSI and iNIS, and the
Technical Program Committee of DAC, ICCAD, ITC, ISVLSI, FAC,
CAD/Graphics, ASICON and VLSI. He received the NSF Faculty Early
Career Development Award (CAREER) in 2012, two IEEE Donald O.
Pederson Best Paper Awards in 2013 and 2016, the Best Paper
Award from Design Automation Conference (DAC) in 2010, two
IEEE/ACM William J. McCalla ICCAD Best Paper Awards in 2004 and
2011, and the Best Paper Award from International Symposium on
Integrated Circuits (ISIC) in 2014. In addition to these awards,
he also received six Best Paper Nominations from Design
Automation Conference (DAC), International Conference on
Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) and Custom Integrated Circuits
Conference (CICC).
