I am a software engineer of Protium, an FPGA-based prototyping system, R&D team and involved developing key algorithms and cutting-edge technologies. Specifically, I’ve been working on the back-end compiler with main focus on developing VLSI netlist partitioning and optimization engines, distributed and parallel computing, advanced clustering and partitioning algorithms.

SLEC is a sequential logic equivalence checking tool that enables formal equivalence checking between a C-level description and a RTL implementation or between two RTL implementations. I was an intern of its R&D team and involved developing and optimizing its key algorithms.

My research interests span the areas of software engineering, embedded systems, verification and validation. I have been working on SystemC verification and Validation using symbolic/concolic execution techniques for more than 4 years.Projects:(1) Concolic Testing of SystemC DesignsProposed and implemented an improved approach for validating SystemC designs using binary-level concolic testing with integration of the assertion-based verification techniques. During the experiments, the newly generated test cases can improve line and branch coverage by 32% and 50% on average,respectively. The maximum improvement of line and branch coverage are 84% and 92%, respectively. Furthermore, my approach detects two bugs. One is a functional error, and the other is an out-of-bound access. (ISQED 2018 paper)(2) SCBench: A Benchmark Design Suite for SystemC Verification and ValidationPresented SCBench, a suite of benchmark designs for SystemC verification and validation. The benchmark consists of 38 well-written representative SystemC desigs that cover a variety of application domains and as many SystemC features as possible. It is freely available online. (ASP-DAC 2018 paper)(3) Symbolic Execution of SystemC DesignsProposed and implemented an approach, SESC, for generating test cases for SystemC designs using symbolic execution. First, a SystemC design is compiled into LLVM bitcode. Then, before the bitcode is exercised symbolically by the symbolic execution engine, it preprocesses the bitcode by running several LLVM passes that I developed. To enable symbolic execution of SystemC designs, I have implemented a scheduler in the symbolic execution engine, since a SystemC design consists of multiple processes that run concurrently. The test cases generated by SESC are able to achieve 100% code coverage for most SystemC designs. (ASP-DAC 2016 paper)

TA for CS 106: Computing Fundamentals

I was primary responsible for network system of electrical multiple units (EMU) high-speed train. Each time when there was a failure of network system in an EMU, I would download run time data of the EMU, analyze the recorded log, find the cause of the failure, and fix the malfunction. I was in charge of three types of high-speed train, CRH2, CRH3, and CRH5. CRH2 is based on the E2-1000 Series Shinkansen, built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. CRH3 is a version of Siemens Velaro high-speed train, built by Siemens. CRH5 is based on the ETR-600 New Pendolino, built by Alstom Ferroviari.Other responsibilities include:1. Responsible for technology management and maintenance guidance of EMU;2. Supervise and conduct on-site maintenance of various levels;3. Write failure reports and provide suggestions;4. Test the regulations of maintenance and revise them accordingly;5. Communicate with after-sale service of foreign companies, such as Alstom and Siemens.
