About
Keren Zhu (朱可人)
I am currently an associate professor/青年研究员 in College of Integrated Circuits & Micro-Nano Electronics at Fudan University. I was a research assistant professor with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong from 2023-2024. I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, working with Prof. David Z. Pan, from August 2022 to February 2023. I obtained my Ph.D. at UT Austin ECE. I received my B.S. in electrical engineering with highest distinction from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
My research interests include EDA algorithms (physical design, logic synthesis, HLS), AI-driven circuit design automation, and CAD for emerging technologies.
