Yuan-Hao Chang (Johnson Chang) received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. He is currently a Research Fellow (Professor) and Deputy Director of Institute of Information Science (IIS), Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan, where he served as an Associate Research Fellow between Mar. 2015 and Jun. 2018 and Assistant Research Fellow between Aug. 2011 and Mar. 2015. Before that, he was a software/firmware design engineer in Hewlett-Packard, Taipei, Taiwan. His research interests include memory/storage systems, operating systems, embedded systems, and real-time systems. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Senior Member of ACM.

Dr. Chang has published more than 100 research papers, which were mainly published in top journals (including 40+ in premier ACM/IEEE Transactions, e.g., IEEE TC, IEEE TVLSI, IEEE TCAD, ACM TECS, ACM TODAES, and ACM TOS) and top conferences (including 40+ in ACM/IEEE DAC, ACM/IEEE ICCAD, ACM/IEEE ISLPED, ACM/IEEE CODES+ISSS, ACM/IEEE EMSOFT, and IEEE RTSS). His works received 2 best paper awards from important conferences (including IEEE NVMSA 2019 and IEEE IMW 2018), 5 best paper nominations from top conferences (including ACM/IEEE CODES+ISSS 2019, ACM/IEEE DAC 2016, ACM/IEEE DAC 2014, ACM/IEEE CODES+ISSS 2014, and ACM/IEEE DAC 2007), and 1 best paper nomination from important conference ACM/IEEE ASP-DAC 2016. He has also been granted for dozens of US and Taiwan patents. In addition, he is a recipient of K. T. Li Breakthrough Award from Institute of Information and Computing Machinery (IICM) 2018, Y. Z. Hsu Scientific Paper Award from Far Eastern Y.Z.
