Michael S. Hsiao is currently a Professor in
The Bradley Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech.
He received his B.S.
in Computer Engineering, M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, all
from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. He had held positions at
Digital Equipment Corporation,
National Semiconductor Corporation,
NEC USA, Intel Corp., and
Rutgers University.
He is a recepient of the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career
Development (CAREER) Award.
His current research interests include
architectural-level and gate-level automatic test pattern generation (ATPG),
design verification and diagnosis,
fault simulation and defect coverage evaluation,
design for testability (DFT),
test set compaction,
power estimation and management in VLSI,
computer architecture,
