This is Chen-Chia’s home on the web. I am a senior machine learning engineer at NVIDIA, working for using ML to advance analog design process. I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, advised by Prof. Yiran Chen in the CEI Lab. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University in 2020. My research focuses on novel EDA methods, especially for machine learning and generative AI methodologies. I won the best paper award and best paper candidate at ASPDAC’25. I also received the second place at ISPD’19 Detailed Routing Contest and Honorable Mention at ICCAD’20 CAD Contest.

Outside of my work, I enjoy listening to pop music and have a passion for hip-hop dancing. I was a member of a dance club during his time in college, and I continue to enjoy dancing as a hobby.
