Prof. Tian-Li Wu (HEA Fellow) received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2016. From 2011 to 2017, He was with the GaN power device group at imec, Leuven, Belgium, where he focused on research and development of CMOS compatible 200-mm GaN-on-Si platform for power switching applications and investigation of reliability issues in GaN power devices. In 2016, he visited IBM, New York, NY, USA, where he focused on interface characterization in sub-10nm SiGe pMOS FinFETs. He is currently the Associate Professor with the International College of Semiconductor Technology at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, and was named the MediaTek Junior Chair Professor in 2017.
He was the recipient of the Semiconductor Award from the TSIA in 2021, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA Fellow) in 2020, MOST Young Scholar Fellowship in 2019, MediaTek Junior Chair Professorship in 2017, the Fellowship for long term abroad research from FWO (Flanders Research Foundation) in 2015, and imec Ph.D. Fellowship in 2012.
He authored and coauthored more than 100 publications in peer reviewed journals or conferences. His research interests focus on 1) GaN and SiC Power semiconductor and electronics, 2) Advanced sub-5nm logic devices, and 3) reliability evaluation and degradation and analysis, ) AI-assisted device design and reliability predictions.
