Janet M. Wang

For carrying out research on innovative computer-aided methodologies for the design of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits at the deep submicron level--that is, smaller than one- millionth of a meter. With increasing miniaturization and transistor sizes approaching atomic dimensions, such design issues have become a major challenge. Wang has actively participated in organizing design competitions for students at major international conferences in the field of VLSI design. Winners of this competition are often recruited into leading industry and academic positions.
