Biographical Sketch:

Dr. Jackson Leung co-founded SD-Semi in January 2022 and currently a technical staff in charge of the full chip simulation of PMIC for computer, automobile and IOT application. From 1998 to 2021, he was a staff engineer in the design and development (D&D) of high-speed memory including DDR2/3/4/5 at Nanya Technology Corp. He was also involved in the design of USB products. From 1990 to 1998, he was a design engineer at Texas Instruments involved in the D&D of Flash EPROM and high-speed memory including Direct Rambus DRAM.

From January 1986 to August 1990 he held a full-time tenure-track appointment as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University. He taught both undergraduate and graduate digital logic design, advanced electronic circuits and VLSI design courses. He was also the system administrator of CAD/CAE systems in the microelectronics group consisting of 10 full-time faculty members and 50-60 graduate students.

He received the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University in 1986 and 1983, respectively, and the B.S.E.E. with Honors from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 1980.

In the past he has been involved in several projects dealing with PMIC, synchronous DRAM and flash memory development, high-speed memory interface design & development, VLSI systolic array architecture, CAD methodologies and modeling and simulation. His research interests include VLSI/WSI digital design and test, CAD methodologies, modeling and simulation, advanced logic design, computer architecture and microprocessor-based system design.

He is fluent in BASIC, Fortran, C, DOS & shell scripts, Awk, Perl, HTML and Python. He also has extensive experience in Mentor Graphics, Cadence and Synopsys CAD tools and is fluent in SPICE, VHDL and Verilog/SystemVerilog.

He has published 39 technical papers and reports including 8 journal and 27 conference papers. He also has several patents granted (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,675,546, 5,719,880, 5,872,794, 6,381,718, 6,408,411, and 6,615,391 ). He served as session chairman at the SCS Eastern Simulation Conferences and the Annual Pittsburgh Conference on Modeling and Simulation. He is a member of Eta Kappa Nu.
