Biography:
      Prof. Tian-Li Wu (IEEE Senior Member, HEA Fellow) received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2016. From 2011 to 2017, He was with the GaN power device group at imec, Leuven, Belgium, where he focused on research and development of CMOS compatible 200-mm GaN-on-Si platform for power switching applications and investigation of reliability issues in GaN power devices. In 2016, he visited IBM, New York, NY, USA, where he focused on interface characterization in sub-10nm SiGe pMOS FinFETs. He is currently the Full Professor with Institute of Electronics (IEE) / Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (DEE) / EECS International Graduate Program (EECSIGP) / AI Graduate Program (AIGP) and the Joint Professor with International College of Semiconductor Technology (ICST) and Department of Microelectronics (MEE), at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, and was named the MediaTek Junior Chair Professor in 2017.
      He was the recipient of  NYCU ECE Teaching Award (2025), CIEE Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer (2023), NSTC Ta-You Wu Memorial Award (2023), EDMA Outstanding Young Engineer Award (2022), TSIA Semiconductor Award – Outstanding New Researcher with a Doctoral Degree (2021), Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in 2020, MOST Young Scholar Fellowship in 2019, MediaTek Junior Chair Professorship in 2017, the Fellowship for long term abroad research from FWO (Flanders Research Foundation) in 2015, and imec Ph.D. Fellowship in 2012.
      He authored and coauthored more than 200 publications in peer reviewed journals or conferences. His research interests focus on 1) GaN/SiC/GaO Power semiconductor and electronics, 2) high frequency GaN HEMTs, 3) Advanced Ferroelectric/2D/Oxide semiconductor for Logic and Memory, and 4) reliability evaluation and degradation analysis, and 5) AI-assisted device design and reliability predictions.
