At DVLab, we advance three connected directions—AI Formal Methods, EDA for 3DIC, and Quantum Design Automation. To ease system-level verification bottlenecks, we combine automatic abstraction that tames complexity with learning-guided refinement that captures essential design intent, building open, reproducible frameworks our collaborators can rely on.

We are equally curious about how quantum techniques reshape the computing stack—from synthesis and optimization to verification on practical devices—and how classical EDA must evolve for heterogeneous 3DIC integration and sign-off. Across AI Formal, EDA 3DIC, and Quantum, we pursue rigorous theory, useful tools, and the curiosity that keeps hard engineering problems worth solving.

We research because we are curious
