Richard Lin previously worked as Postdoctoral Scholar at University Of California, Los Angeles and Graduate Student Researcher at Uc Berkeley. Richard Lin holds Ph. D., Computer Science from University Of California, Berkeley.
I recently finished my postdoc in electrical and computer engineering at UCLA and am now looking to transition to industry to continue down a technically-focused career path. While my core skills are programming (Python and Scala on desktop and C++ on embedded), I also have experience with board-level hardware design and chip-level digital logic design. I'm interested in most things physical computing and developer tooling!My PhD and postdoc research both were on building a hardware description language (HDL) and compiler toolchain for circuit board design, with the goal of bringing software practices (and its mix of productivity and beginner-friendliness) to electronics. My work is published in top conferences including ACM CHI and UIST, and the software is fully open-source (and continues as a personal project). Check out some of the boards I've produced at https://ducky64.github.io/boards.html and try the compiler toolchain at https://github.com/BerkeleyHCI/PolymorphicBlocksPrior (and consistent with the theme of blending software and hardware practices), I worked on the Chisel HDL for chip-level digital logic, including developing the ChiselTest unit testing framework.Beyond research, I've been on the Berkeley solar car team for my over-a-decade undergrad and grad career and have worked on a wide range of electronics and firmware (including batteries, data systems, and driver interface) across several cars. I've also ended up with a bunch of random interdisciplinary experience by osmosis, including basic mechanical design and composites work.Oh, and ducks 🦆. Everything is better with more (inanimate, preferably plush) ducks!
A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Los Angeles, California, United States
Explored both programming-languages-inspired concepts (like mixins and arrays, which enable more expressivity and generality) for a hardware description language (HDL) for circuit boards and novel tooling (like interactive design space exploration) enabled by this more formal and programmatic approach to board design.Also built over 25 demo boards with.
Bringing software engineering techniques to hardware engineering, to make design both more productive for experts and accessible for novices! Built a hardware description language (HDL) for circuit boards, with an emphasis on supporting re-usable libraries of smart subcircuit generators.
Berkeley
Led the lab section for EE192 (Mechatronics Design Lab, a hands-on project course where students build a line-following robot car including hardware, electronics, and software). Created a re-usable slide deck covering practical mechatronic systems and created a telemetry framework for the students to encourage debugging with data.Check out the open source.
Worked on Jacdac, an easy-to-use, plug-and-play ecosystem for embedded systems. Examined into finer-grained service definitions / device categories, ways to adapt between services, and prototyped a unit testing framework for hardware.
Mountain View
Experimented with using Chisel in an industry setting by designing, writing, and testing several digital circuits while applying software concepts to hardware design. Built Chisel infrastructure including a SRAM library and various reusable circuit generators
Mountain View
Analyzed DNS results, looking for anomalies in responses from large nameservers. Wrote, tested, and evaluated different algorithms for filtering and processing data
San Diego
Worked on RF characterization and calibration software.
