Shiju Lin is an assistant professor in the microelectronics thrust at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). He received his PhD from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2024 and his B.Eng. from the South China University of Technology in 2020. His research interests include combinatorial optimization and GPU acceleration in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). He won first place in the CAD Contest at ICCAD 2021, and he also won first and second places in the ISPD 2024 Contest in the special honor and main tracks, respectively.

I'm looking for PhD students to work with me. If you're interested, please feel free to email me!
