Hello! I’m Jingyu Pan, a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. I’m advised by Prof. Yiran Chen in the Computational Evolutionary Intelligence Lab. I earned my B.Eng. in Information Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2020 and expect to complete my Ph.D. in July 2025.

My research focuses on machine learning applications for electronic design automation (EDA), spanning AutoML, privacy-preserving ML, ML security, and LLM applications for VLSI design optimization. I have published 6 first-author papers in top EDA conferences (DAC, ICCAD, ASP-DAC) and 2 first-author papers in top journals (TCAD, TODAES). My work has contributed to a Best Paper Award and a Best Paper Nomination at ASP-DAC 2023.

I’m currently exploring job opportunities in the field! If you are interested, please check my CV.
