Biography
Xiaoqing WEN (wen@cse.kyutech.ac.jp) received a B.E. degree from Tsinghua University, China, in 1986, a M.E. degree from Hiroshima University, Japan, in 1990, and a Ph.D. degree from Osaka University, Japan, in 1993. From 1993 to 1997, he was a Lecturer at Akita University, Japan. He was a Visiting Researcher at University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, from October 1995 to March 1996. He worked at SynTest Technologies, Inc., USA, from 1998 to 2003 and served as its Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. In 2004, he joined Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, where he is currently a Professor and Chair of Department of Creative Informatics. He is a Co-Founder/Co-Chair of the Technical Activity Committee on Power-Aware Testing under the Test Technology Technical Council of the IEEE Computer Society. He is serving as Associate Editors for IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems as well as IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems. He co-authored and co-edited two widely-referred books: “VLSI Test Principles and Architectures: Design for Testability” and “Power-Aware Testing and Test Strategies for Low Power Devices”. His research interests include design, test, and diagnosis of VLSI circuits. He holds 43 U.S. Patents and 14 Japan Patents. He received the 2008 Society Best Paper Award from the Information Systems Society of Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers for his pioneering work on mitigating capture power in at-speed scan testing of low-power VLSI circuits. He was elevated to a Fellow of IEEE in 2012 for contributions to testing of integrated circuits. (Homepage: http://aries3a.cse.kyutech.ac.jp/~wen/)
