Congrats to Ph.D. candidate Ming Yang for landing a Best Paper Award at DesignCon2021! Thanks to our great collaborators and co-authors Shayan Shahramian, Henry Wong and Petar Krotnev. There are dozens, or even hundreds, of parameters in modern wireline transceivers. Getting them all just right is a major challenge that demands advanced optimization algorithms during architectural design, in the lab, and in the field.
