Hao Chen, a PhD student in Texas ECE, has received an NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship for his work on "Developing next-generation VLSI physical synthesis tools capable of generating sign-off quality layouts in advanced manufacturing nodes, particularly in analog/mixed-signal circuits."

Selected from a highly competitive applicant pool, the awardees will participate in a summer internship preceding the fellowship year. 

“Our fellowship recipients are among the most talented graduate students in the world,” said NVIDIA Chief Scientist Bill Dally. “They’re working on some of the most important problems in computer science, and we’re delighted to support their research.”

Hao Chen received his BS in Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University in 2019. He is supervised by Prof. David Z. Pan in the UT Design Automation Lab.
