VLSI Physical Design Automation for 3D Integration

 

Biography:

 

Johann Knechtel received the M.Sc. in Information Systems Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) in 2010 and the Ph.D. in Computer Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) in 2014, both from Dresden University of Technology, Germany.

 

Dr. Knechtel is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at the DfX Lab, New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE. From 2010 to 2014, he was a Research Associate and Scholar with the DFG Research Training Group Nano- and Biotechnologies for Packaging of Electronic Systems, and a Ph.D. Student at the Institute of Electromechanical and Electronic Design, Dresden University of Technology. In 2012, he was a Research Assistant with the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China. In 2010, he was a Visiting Research Student with the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Michigan, USA.
