Brief Autobiography

Yen-Ting Chen earned his B.S. degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering from National Chung Cheng University, Chiayi, Taiwan, in 2014. Driven by a keen interest in system-level designs, particularly in embedded systems, he joined Prof. Wei-Kuan Shih’s Real-time System Laboratory (RT LAB) and later completed his M.S. degree in the Department of Computer Science from National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2016. At that time, he faced the dilemma of choosing between the academic world and a job in the industry, so he determined to embark on his doctoral studies while simultaneously working at Realtek. After five years of contemplation, he decided to dedicate his life to academic research and education. Therefore, he gave up the opportunity to keep working as a sub-team leader, resigned from Realtek, and successfully completed his Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science from National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2021. Following this, he served as a postdoctoral research fellow under the guidance of Dr. Yuan-Hao Chang (IEEE Fellow) at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, from 2021 to 2023. Currently, he holds the position of an assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering at National Taiwan University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.

In the past few years, Dr. Chen mainly focused on research into flash-based storage, especially a new type of solid-state drive called key-value solid-state drive (KVSSD). He is now devoted to research topics in memory/storage systems based on different storage mediums (e.g., flash memory and emerging non-volatile memory), and embedded systems (e.g., embedded AI and intermittent systems). Besides the above research interests, Dr. Chen would also like to keep studying research topics related to wired/wireless network (e.g., WiFi/5G/Ethernet networks) exchanging systems in the future, continuing his R&D experience at Realtek. So far, he has published 4 top journal papers (i.e., ACM/IEEE TECS, IEEE TCAD, and IEEE TVLSI), 4 top conference papers (i.e., ACM/IEEE ICCAD, ACM/IEEE ISLPED, IEEE RTAS, and ACM/IEEE DAC), and 2 conference papers of an important conference in Asia and South Pacific region (i.e., ASP-DAC). Notably, one of his works received a best paper nomination from the top conference ACM/IEEE ISLPED 2022.
