Jiajie Lao is currently an undergraduate student majoring in Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated Systems at the School of Integrated Circuits, Nanjing University, China. He has maintained an excellent academic record, with an overall score of 4.51/5.00 and a ranking among the top students in his major. He has established a solid foundation in integrated circuit engineering and demonstrated strong English proficiency. He has received several honors, including the National Scholarship, and the Outstanding Student Leader Award for two consecutive years. Based on his outstanding academic performance, he has been recommended for admission and will join Prof. Qiuyang Lin’s research group at the Institute of Frontiers Technology for Chips and Systems, Fudan University, in 2027 to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Integrated Circuit Science and Engineering.

During his undergraduate studies, he conducted a research internship in Prof. Huaqiang Wu’s group at the School of Integrated Circuits, Tsinghua University, where he participated in literature studies and chip testing related to resistive random-access memory (RRAM) and computing-in-memory chips, including both current-domain and time-domain architectures. He has also worked on high-performance hardware acceleration for the post-quantum Falcon signature algorithm, focusing on the hardware design and optimization of the number-theoretic transform (NTT) module and discrete Gaussian sampler. In addition, he designed and simulated a two-stage operational amplifier using a TSMC 0.18 μm process design kit.

He served as a team leader in the National Undergraduate Embedded Chip and System Design Contest, where his team developed an FPGA-based platform for real-time high-definition image acquisition and processing and received the National Third Prize. He has also applied for an invention patent as the first student inventor, which has entered the substantive examination stage. These experiences have provided him with broad practical training in analog integrated circuits, FPGA development, digital hardware design, and system-level verification.

His research interests include analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, biomedical integrated circuits, analog front ends for biosignal acquisition, and analog-to-digital converters. He hopes to further explore high-performance integrated circuits for biomedical and intelligent sensing applications during his future research.

Outside his studies, he enjoys participating in various sports and is particularly skilled at badminton. He is also deeply interested in history and geography and enjoys exploring different places and learning about their local cultures, histories, and customs.
