Huang Tao     黄韬               

I received both my bachelor and master degrees in electronic engineering from SUN Yat-Sen University, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. I'm now working towards my Phd degree in the department of computer science and engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Evangeline F. Y. Young. I am expected to graduate in the fall of 2012.            (My CV)

Very large scale integration (VLSI) computer-aided design (CAD), especially the placement and routing problems.
