•  (April 2006) EETIMES "Hope seen for taming IC process variability at next design node"                                      Charlie Chen, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the NTU, University of Taiwan University and University of Wisconsin (Madison), proposed a quadratic way to model non-Gaussian parameters and a systematic way to analyze "confidence intervals" for the statistical distribution of parameters. A 97 percent confidence interval, for example, indicates a 97 percent probability that the "true mean" value will fall inside the distribution curve. A parameter may be non-Gaussian, but the mean estimation can be close to Gaussian.

  (June 3-7, 2002) "Sequence Design Inc.'s Dr. Li-Fu Chang and Dr. Keh-Jeng Chang presented findings on SoC inductance extraction with Professor Charlie Chung-Ping Chen of the University of Wisconsin at last week's FSA 2002 SoC Technical Workshop, describing how to achieve quality of results comparable with FastHenry analysis at speeds 100 times faster. FastHenry is an open-source field solver developed by researchers at MIT to calculate inductance values."
