Lizhen Zheng joined the cryo group in the summer of 1995. She is a graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley. Her current research project is 50 GHz RSFQ multiplexer and demultiplexer design and testing. The goal of this project is to design and experimentally demonstrate RSFQ superconductor circuits working at speed up to 50 GHz with UCB's high Jc Niobium process. The main design challeges include circuit optimization, timing at high speed, yield prediction, inductance extraction and on-chip high-speed test system design.

She got her B.S. in Physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, P.R. China in 1992, and M.S. in Physics from the Institute of physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, P.R. China in 1995.

Her other research and teaching experience include,

  • Master thesis on deposition and characterization of ultrathin YBCO film.
  • RSFQ clock recovery circuit for an optical receiver at 40-100 Gb/s.
  • Monte Carlo and thermal noise analyses of ultra-high-speed high temperature superconductor digital circuits.
  • Timing for high-speed CMOS clock recovery circuit design. Internship at the Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies in the summer 1999.
  • Course consultant for NTU IC775 CA, Advanced Integrated Circuits for Communications.
