D. from the University of Tokyo in 1981, he joined Toshiba Corporation. Engaged in design research and development of semiconductor memory and processors. He was a visiting researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, and has been a professor at the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo since 1996.
He has been engaged in technical consulting for many ventures and companies. He received the Pederson Award of the IEEE, the most prestigious award in the field of integrated circuit design, for his pioneering work in the design fundamentals of low-power, high-speed integrated circuits.
He has also received numerous other awards, including the Nikkei Power Electronics Award. He is a world expert in low-power circuit and system design, having delivered the keynote lecture at ISSCC, the international conference known as the Olympics of integrated circuits, together with Mr. Moore of Moore's Law, and has applied his technology to the Trillion Node Engine.
He has served as a chief executive and chairperson of many international conferences, and has also served as the director of the Nanoelectronics Division of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).

Research Achievements and Projects
Since 1981, he has been consistently engaged in research and development in the field of semiconductor integrated electronics design, especially in the research and commercialization of low-power integrated circuits, CMOS memories, processors, and SoCs. In 2010, he received the IEEE Donald Pederson Award, the world's most prestigious award in the field of integrated circuit design. He has also led low-power design research worldwide, including keynote presentations on low-power design at IEEE ISSCC, the largest international conference in the field.

Mr. Su-Wei Chang received the B.S. degree in EE from the Feng-Chia University in 2005. He then worked in Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) as a mmWave receiver engineer, where he was involved in developing the mmWave and sub-mmWave receiver systems for radio telescopes. While working in ASIAA, he was leading and developing the 200-600 GHz receiver for Sub-Millimeter Array (SMA) and has been invited to Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Later on, he received a master's degree and is a Ph.D. candidate in the ECE at U. Mass-Amherst. His research interests include low noise, cryogenic circuit design, and applications, silicon-based MMIC up to mm-wave bands. He founded TMYTEK in 2014 and is currently the president. Su-Wei received the Young Scholars‘ Creativity Award of Pan Wen Yuan Foundation in 2020.
