My name is Lizhong Chen (click here for the pronunciation in English). Currently I am pursuing my PhD in Computer Engineering at University of Southern California. I received my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at Zhejiang University in 2009, and was an undergraduate research assistant in the Institute of VLSI Design from 2007-2009. I am supervised by Prof. Timothy Pinkston.
