Dr. Yao-Wen Chang is a fellow of the ACM and IEEE. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1996. He is currently a Distinguished Professor of the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Dean of the EECS College, National Taiwan University (NTU). His current research interests lie in electronic design automation (EDA). He has co-authored one 934-page textbook on EDA (Morgan Kaufmann, 2009) and one research book on routing (Springer, 2007), 17 U.S. patents, and more than 350 ACM/IEEE conference/journal papers, including highly cited works on floorplanning, placement, routing, design for manufacturability, heterogeneous integration, and FPGA. His NTUplace3 placer was transferred into the popular Digital Custom Placer of Synopsys. His NTUplace4 is a champion circuit placer for the three top contests, DAC, ICCAD, and ISPD, and now the core engine of MaxPlace, the flagship placer of Maxeda and a leading commercial placer. Dr. Chang is the all-time most prolific author in DAC’s 59-year history, also with its longest publication streak (24 years 1999-2022). He received four research awards at the 50th DAC in 2013, eleven Best Paper Awards (including one for the 2017 DAC), and 21 top-3 place contest awards with six champions. He published the world’s most DAC+ICCAD+TCAD papers during the past three decades. He has received many research awards and two distinguished teaching awards for ten years (the highest honor for the top 1% of teachers) and nine excellent teaching awards from NTU.

Dr. Chang has served as the steering committee/general/program chair of ISPD, general/program chair of ICCAD, and program chair of ASP-DAC and FPT, and on the executive/steering committees of ASP-DAC, DAC, and ICCAD. He has been an associate editor of IEEE TCAD, IEEE TVLSI, IEEE D&T, etc. He has served as the IEEE CEDA President, President-elect, and Vice President. Currently, he serves on the IEEE Robert N. Noyce Medal Committee. He is a recipient of the 2015 IEEE CEDA Outstanding Service Award and the 2012 ACM Service Award.
