Dr. Pan is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Integrated Circuits, Tsinghua University. He received his Bachelor's degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, in 2013, and his M.Sc/Ph.D. degrees (both cum laude) from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, in 2016/2021, respectively. He was a postdoc researcher at Delft University of Technology from 2021 to 2022, after which he joined Tsinghua University. Dr. Pan’s research focuses on analog/mixed-signal circuit design, including smart sensors, CMOS frequency references, and ΔΣ modulators. He has authored/coauthored over 30 technical papers, including 13 from ISSCC and 9 from JSSC, as well as one book and two book chapters by Springer. He was the recipient of the SSCS predoctoral achievement award (2020) and the ADI outstanding student designer award (2019). He served as a Technical Committee Member for ASSCC 2023.

Group Openings：Our group has openings for around 2 Ph.D./Master students every year and regularly recruit postdocs with analog/mixed-signal circuit design background. We also welcome international students and highly motivated undergraduate students. For more information, please contact psn@tsinghua.edu.cn with your CV.
