Xing Zhou (S’88–M’91–SM’99) received the B.E. degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1983, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, in 1987 and 1990, respectively.

From 1990 to 1991, he was a research associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering, the University of Rochester, where he worked on hot-carrier injection phenomena in MOS devices, as well as development of CAD tools for mixed-signal circuit simulation. From 1992 to 1995, he was a research fellow in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where he worked on Monte Carlo and numerical modeling of semiconductor and optoelectronic devices as well as mixed-signal circuit modeling and simulation. He is currently a tenured associate professor in the same school at NTU, as well as program director of the computational nanoelectronics group. His current research focuses on development of compact models for circuit simulation for conventional and emerging nanoscale MOS devices.  In November and December of 1997 as well as in February and March 2001, he was a visiting fellow at the Center for Integrated Systems, Stanford University, California. In January 2003, he was a visiting professor at Hiroshima University, Japan. He is the founding chair of the Workshop on Compact Modeling (WCM) in association with the NSTI Nanotech Conference since 2002. He was the recipient of the 2006 NSTI Fellow award.
