Feng CHEN （陈 峰）
Ph.D. HKUST
Analog and Power Management IC Designer
BIOGRAPHY
Feng Chen received the B.Eng. degree in electronic and information engineering from Zhejiang University (ZJU), Hangzhou, China, in 2015, and the Ph.D. degree in electronic and computer engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Hong Kong, China, in 2020.
He is currently with Silergy Corp., Hangzhou, China. His current research interests involve power management IC (PMIC) design and analog and mixed-signal IC design, especially analog and digital linear regulator.
Dr. Chen was a recipient of the HKUST postgraduate studentship from 2015 to 2020.

“Before I came here I was confused about this subject. Having listened to your lecture I am still confused. But on a higher level.”

—— Steve Jobs (1955-2011; CEO of Apple Computer; 2005 Standford Commencement Address)“Good analog design requires intuition, rigor and creativity. As analog designers, we must wear out engineer’s hat for a quick and intuitive understanding of a large circuit, our mathematician’s hat for quantifying subtle, yet important effects in a circuit, and our artist’s hat for inventing new circuit topologies.”
