Junjuan Xu (BS'00, PHD'05) received her B.S. and Ph.D. in 2000 and 2005 respectively from Peking University in the department of Computer Science. Her recent research focuses in the area of behavioral synthesis, low-power design, and design and analysis of algorithms. After receiving her Ph.D. degree, she worked in Synopsys (Shanghai) and Microsoft (Shanghai) from 2005-2006, then she joined the VLSI CAD Laboratory at the UCLA CS Department at the end of year 2006 and is now working under Professor Jason Cong.
