Anupam Chattopadhyay received his B.E. degree from Jadavpur University, India in 2000. He received his MSc. from ALa RI, Switzerland and Ph D from RWTH Aachen in 2002 and 2008 respectively. From 2008 to 2009, he worked as a Member of Consulting Staff in Co Ware R&D, Noida, India. From 2010 to 2014, he led the MPSo C Architectures Research Group in RWTH Aachen, Germany as a Junior Professor. Since September, 2014, he is appointed as an assistant Professor in SCE, NTU. During his Ph D, he worked on automatic RTL generation from the architecture description language LISA, which was commercialized later by a leading EDA vendor. He developed several high-level optimizations and verification flow for embedded processors. In his doctoral thesis, he proposed a language-based modeling, exploration and implementation framework for partially re-configurable processors. Together with his doctoral students, he proposed domain-specific high-level synthesis for cryptography, high-level reliabilityestimation flows, generalization of classic linear algebra kernels and a novel multi-layered coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture. In these areas, he published as a (co)-author over 80 conference/ journal papers, several book-chapters and a book. Anupam served in several TPCs of top conferences, regularly reviews journal/ conference articles and presented multiple invited seminars/tutorials in prestigious venues. He is a member of ACM and a senior member of IEEE. Chang Chip Hong received his B.Eng. (Hons) from National University of Singapore in 1989, and his M.Eng. and Ph.D. from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 1993 and 1998, respectively. Since 1999, he has been with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University where he is currently an Associate Professor. He holds concurrent appointments at the university as the Assistant Chair (Alumni) of the School of EEE since June 2008, Deputy Director of the Centre for High Performance Embedded Systems (CHi PES) since 2000, and the Program Director of the VLSI Design and Embedded Systems research group of the Centre for Integrated Circuits and Systems (CICS) since 2003. He has published three book chapters and more than 140 refereed international journal and conference papers. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers from 2010-2011, an Editorial Advisory Board Member of the Open Electrical and Electronic Engineering Journal since 2007, an Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering since 2008, and a technical reviewer for several prestigious international journals. He is appointed the Charter Fellow of Advisory Directorate International by the American Biographical Institute, Inc. (ABI) and listed in the Marquis Who”s Who in the World since 2008. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a Fellow of IET. Hao Yu obtainedhis B.S. degree from Fudan University (Shanghai China) in 1999, with 4-year first-prize Guanghua scholarship (top-2) and 1-year Samsung scholarship for the outstanding student in science and engineering (top-1). After selected by mini-cuspea program, he spent some time in New York University, and obtained M.S/Ph. D degrees both from electrical engineering department at UCLA in 2007, with major of integrated circuit and embedded computing. He was a senior research staff at Berkeley Design Automation (BDA) since 2006, one of top-100 start-ups selected by Red-herrings at Silicon Valley. Since October 2009, he is an assistant professor at school of electrical and electronic engineering, and also as area director of VIRTUS/VALENS Centre of Excellence, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
