Meng-Fan Chang received the M.S. degree from The Pennsylvania State University, US, and the Ph.D. degree from the National Chiao Tung University, Hisnchu, Taiwan, respectively. Currently, he is a Full Professor at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan. Before 2006, he has worked in industry over 10 years.

From 1996 to 1997, he designed memory compilers in Mentor Graphics, New Jersey, US. From 1997 to 2001, he designed embedded SRAMs and Flash in Design Service Division (DSD) at TSMC, Hsinchu, Taiwan. During 2001–2006, he was a co-founder and a Director in IPLib Company, Taiwan, where he developed embedded SRAM and ROM compilers, Flash macros, and Flat-cell ROM products. His research interests include circuit designs for volatile and nonvolatile memory, ultra-low-voltage systems, 3D-memory, circuit-device interactions, memristor logics for neuromorphic computing, and computing-in-memory. 

        Dr. Chang is the corresponding author of numerous ISSCC and VLSI Symposia papers. He is an associate editor for IEEE TVLSI, IEEE TCAD and IEICE Electronics. He has been serving on technical program committees for ISSCC, IEDM, A-SSCC, ISCAS, VLSI-DAT, and numerous international conferences. He has been a Distinguished Lecture (DL) speaker for IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS). He has been serving as the Associate Executive Director for Taiwan’s National Program of Intelligent Electronics (NPIE) during 2011-2016. He received the Academia Sinica (Taiwan) Junior Research Investigators Award in 2012, the Ta-You Wu Memorial Award of National Science Council (NSC-Taiwan) in 2011. He also received numerous awards from Taiwan’s National Chip Implementation Center (CIC), NTHU, MXIC Golden Silicon Awards, and ITRI.
