Hao-Chiao Hong (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1990, 1992, and 2003, respectively.
From 1997 to 2001, he was with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Hsinchu, where he developed mixed-signal IPs for customers and process vehicles. He joined the Intellectual Property Library Company, Hsinchu, as the Senior Manager of the Analog IP Department in August 2001. He has been with the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Hsinchu, since February 2004, where he is currently a Full Professor with the Institute of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is the inventor of nine U.S. patents, 11 Taiwanese patents, and four Chinese patents. His main research interests include the spiking neural network, computing-in-memory circuit design, high-performance mixed-signal IC design, design-for-testability, built-in self-test, and calibration techniques for mixed-signal circuits.
Dr. Hong received the Best Paper Awards from the 2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test (VLSI-DAT), the tenth VLSI Test Technology Workshop (VTTW), and the third IEEE International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI). He also received the Best Advisor Award in the IC Design Competition of the 12th Macronix Golden Silicon Award in 2012. He served as the Executive Secretary for the Mixed-Signal and RF Consortium of the Ministry of Education, Taiwan, from 2006 to 2008, and the Heterogeneous Integration Consortium of the Ministry of Education, Taiwan, from 2008 to 2009. He also served as the General Chair for the sixth VTTW and the Program Chair for the fifth VTTW.
