Dr. Li's accomplishments have shaped and advanced the industry's
understanding of jitter fundamentals in modern electro-optical
devices and systems, as well as technologies used to validate and
test jitter to ensure the performance and reliability. As a result
of his contributions to the semiconductor industry, the IEEE
recognized Dr. Li with their highest level of membership.
"Altera fosters a culture of innovation that allows us to tackle
some of the most complex engineering challenges in the gigahertz
and terahertz era," said Bill Hata,
senior vice president of worldwide operations and engineering at
Altera. "Today's high-speed, leading-edge devices require that we
create new techniques to solve unique problems. Mike's expertise in
the areas of jitter, high-speed link and SERDES architectures has
enabled Altera to push the envelope with our products and
technologies and his election to IEEE Fellow is well deserved."
Dr. Li has consistently promoted the advancement of high-speed
I/O (HSIO) and jitter quantification and testing technologies,
emphasizing the development of techniques for multiple to several
10s GHz/Gbps signal/jitter test/analysis systems. He has been a
pioneer in developing modern jitter theory and related modeling and
test methodologies. Dr. Li has authored two books, more than 50
publications, 20 patents granted and pending, and is a lead
contributor to the HSIO and jitter standards documents. These works
support fast HSIO technology advancements, providing solutions to
some of the most challenging problems in testing, modeling, and
analysis for jitter, noise, and signals at high-speed that requires
comprehensive and accurate theory, models, algorithms, and
high-performance hardware and systems.
