Liming Xiu earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from Tsinghua University, China, in 1986 and 1988, respectively, and his MEEE from Texas A& M
University, College Station, TX, USA, in
1995. In 1995-2009, he worked for Texas
Instruments, Dallas, TX, USA (Senior Member Technical
Staff). In 2009-2012, he was chief clock architect of Novatek Microelectronics, Taiwan. In 2012-2015, he was VP
of Kairos Microsystems, Dallas, USA. From 2015, he
works for BOE Technology Group, Beijing, China, as chief
scientist on IC technology and VP of Research. He
served as VP of IEEE CASS in years 2009-2010. He is the
inventor of Flying-Adder frequency synthesis architecture, promoter of Time-Average-Frequency concept and
theory. He has 30 US patents and has published numerous papers. He has published three books as solo author:
"VLSI Circuit Design Methodology Demystified," "Nanometer Frequency Synthesis beyond Phase-Locked Loop"
and "From Frequency to Time- Average-Frequency: A
Paradigm Shift in the Design of Electronic system."
Xiangye Wei received the B.S. degree in
microelectronics from Jilin University,
Changchun, China, and Tomsk Polytechnic University, Tomsk, Russia, in 2013,
and the M.S.E.E degree from Jilin University, in 2016. Since 2016, he has been as a
Researcher with the BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd., Beijing, China, where he is involved in IC technology. His research interests include clock generation, frequency synthesis, hardware security and instruction set architecture.
