   Dr. Chun-Zhang Chen has 15 years of research and teaching experience and 8 years of physical design experience. He is the professor and head of Digital IC Design Department of Zhongguancun-Cadence Institute of Software Technology.
   
   From 1995 until he joined ZCIST, Dr. Chen held several positions at Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (San Jose, CA, USA) such as senior manager of SP&R product technical services, application engineer (AE) mentor, SP&R product lecturer, and a member of North America AE Advisory Board.
   
   While working at Cadence, he participated and led a few major projects using hierarchical timing driven design flow. He led several teams to solved design issues including SoC design, RTL synthesis place and route, especially, the pre-placement, power planning & analysis, clock-tree synthesis, signal integrity analysis and correction, static timing analysis and process antenna fixing, RC extraction, back-annotation and physical verification, as well as the development and characterization of physical libraries and timing libraries. Design types were ASIC, graphic chip, networking chip, processor chip, using processes of 0.6um - 0.13um and clock frequency between 50MHz-1.5GHz, chip size up to 5~10 million gates. The main customers he worked with included TSMC, Faraday (Taiwan), Motorola (Texas), Cisco, E&S (Utah), STM (UK & Italy), Alliance (India), Oki (Japan, USA), Toshiba, Fujitsu, AMD and NEC (Japan, USA).
   
   He was an ASIC Engineer for 2 years (1995-1997) at Trident Microsystems, Inc. He worked on libraries development, COT and Custom IC design, physical verifications (DRC and LVS) and Place & Route.
   
   Chen worked as an Associate Research Scientist & Assistant Professor in Columbia University, a lecturer at 3 institutions (NY Bronx Community College, Harlem Medical Center of Columbia University, and Port Chester County Hospital, NY); he was a Postgraduate Research Fellow at University of California, San Francisco (CA, USA); a Research Associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory (NY, USA); and Research Assistant at Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing, China). He published more than 30 scientific research papers in Physics from University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Scotland in 1987, M.S. in Radiation Biophysics from University of Dundee, Dundee, UK, and B.S. in Accelerator Physics from University of Science & Technology, Hefei, China.
