Zizheng Guo

Ph.D. Student

Peking University

I am a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate at Peking University, advised by Prof. Yibo Lin. My research interests include data structures, algorithm design and GPU acceleration for combinatorial optimization problems in physical design automation.

Currently, I hold broad interest in topics like signoff timing analysis, power analysis, logic simulation, and performance-driven backend EDA tasks.

My Chinese name is 郭资政.
