Zhengya Zhang received the B.A.Sc. degree in computer engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 2003, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2005 and 2009, respectively. Since September 2009, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he is currently a full professor. His research is in low-power and high-performance VLSI circuits and systems for computing, communications and signal processing.
Dr. Zhang was a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the Intel Early Career Faculty Award, the University of Michigan College of Engineering Neil Van Eenam Memorial Award for contribution to teaching, the David J. Sakrison Memorial Prize for doctoral research from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, and the Best Student Paper Award at the Symposium on VLSI Circuits. He serves on the Technical Program Committee for the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC). He served on the Technical Program Committee for the Symposium on VLSI Circuits and was a past associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—Part I: Regular Papers, and the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—Part II: Express Briefs. He is an IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Distinguished Lecturer.
