About
Patrick Yin Chiang is a leading innovator in the field of high-performance integrated circuits and 3D sensing systems. His research focuses on the design of mixed-signal circuits for LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), high-speed optical interconnects, and energy-efficient computing architectures. Chiang’s major contributions include pioneering work on solid-state direct time-of-flight (dToF) LiDAR systems, where he has developed advanced SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) receivers and high-power transmitters. His notable 2022 paper on an eight-channel, 20W/ch transmitter paired with a 128x128 SPAD receiver—featuring SNR-based pixel binning and resolution upscaling—demonstrates a critical leap toward compact, high-resolution 3D imaging for applications like autonomous driving, AR/VR, and robotic vision. With over 11 citations for this recent work alone, his designs are shaping the next generation of real-time depth sensing. Chiang’s broader impact is reflected in his extensive publication record and numerous patents, making him a key figure in bridging the gap between cutting-edge circuit design and practical, scalable sensing solutions. His work continues to inspire students and researchers pushing the boundaries of integrated photonics and mixed-signal systems.
