【电子电气计算机大类博士全奖】GRA position in CSCE Department at University of A

zybirdUID：2788459

Dr. Yarui Peng in the Computer Science and Computer Engineering Department at University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is seeking diligent and self-motivated Ph.D. students starting Fall 2017. Dr. Peng received his B.S. degree from Tsinghua University, and M.S. degree and Ph.D. in School of Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests are in the areas of computer-aided design, analysis, and optimization for emerging technologies and systems, such as 2.5D and 3D ICs, high band-gap power electronics and systems, and high-efficiency digital designs and memory systems. He also works with the new $18.5 million NSF-sponsored Engineering Research Center for Power Optimization of Electro-Thermal Systems (POETS-erc.org).

Our research, in collaboration with Distinguished Professor Dr. Alan Mantooth in Electrical Engineering Department, tries to address both electrical and thermal issues altogether before the Multi-Chip Power Module (MCPM) layout is finalized. An automated tool is developed to further enrich the layout synthesis capability by introducing new algorithms and novel optimization methods for MCPM parasitic extraction, thermal modeling, heterogeneous integration, and reliability enhancement. We also investigate automated process and design rule checking, process design kit development, and memorialized software architecture platform to create a standard MCPM design tool flow. This project also requires collaborations among other faculties and students from Uark, UIUC, Stanford and Howard, as well as industry liaisons from Toyota, Wolfspeed, Deere, Caterpillar etc. For more information, please refer to POETS website: https://poets-erc.org/.

The University of Arkansas has invested over $450 million on newly expanded and modernized facilities since 2011. The campus enrollment is over 27,000 in 2016. The university was classified as a “research university with very high levels of research activity” by the Carnegie Foundation in 2011. The U.S. News & World Report identified the University of Arkansas as one of the country’s nine up-and-coming public universities and the Chronicle of Higher Education listed the university as one of the best in the country in which to work.

Northwest Arkansas is a vibrant economic region having a population of over 500,000 and is home to the corporate headquarters of Walmart, Tyson Foods, and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, all Fortune 500 companies. Fayetteville, the home of the University of Arkansas, is #3 Best Place to Live among the cities in the US according to US News and World Report. For more information about the University and its location, see http://www.uark.edu.

This research assistant position includes a monthly stipend of $1650 and a tuition waiver. Interested students with solid backgrounds in VLSI circuit, computer aided design, modeling and optimization algorithms, and power electronics are encouraged to apply. Students with proficient programming skills in C++/Java/Python are strongly preferred. Please email your curriculum vitae along with a transcript to yrpeng at uark dot edu. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply as early as possible. For more information, see https://you.uark.edu/yrpeng.
