01

Statistical Yield Modeling for 3D-Stacked Hybrid-Bonded Systems

A stage-aware framework for D2D and W2W stacks that brings overlay, contamination, Cu recess, ESD, TSV defects, and thermomechanical warpage into one statistical view of yield.

  • Thermomechanics
  • ANSYS
02

Yield-Aware I/O Planning for Hybrid-Bonded Chiplets

A layout-aware I/O planning framework that jointly models ESD, particle contamination, overlay variation, and thermomechanical failure for 2.5D and 3D chiplet systems.

Improved bonding yield by up to 19.9 percentage points on HBM4 and million-bump benchmarks without increasing die area.

I am now a Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota, working with Prof. Sachin S. Sapatnekar on research in heterogeneous integration.

Previously, I completed my master's degree at UCLA, where I conducted research in the NanoCAD Lab with Prof. Puneet Gupta.

Outside my day-to-day doctoral research, I enjoy playing basketball, working out, skiing, surfing, and traveling.

Let's build what comes next.

I am open to conversations and collaboration across chips and AI, and I am also seeking related research and engineering opportunities.
