About the Editors Laung-Terng (L.-T.) Wang, Ph.D., is chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of SynTest Technologies (Sunnyvale, CA). He received his BSEE and MSEE degrees from National Taiwan University in 1975 and 1977, respectively, and his MSEE and EE Ph.D. degrees under the Honors Cooperative Program (HCP) from Stanford University in 1982 and 1987, respectively. He worked at Intel (Santa Clara, CA) and Daisy Systems (Mountain View, CA) from 1980 to 1986 and was with the Department of Electrical Engineering of Stanford University as Research Associate and Lecturer from 1987 to 1991. Encouraged by his advisor, Professor Edward J. McCluskey, a member of the National Academy of Engineer- ing, he founded SynTest Technologies in 1990. Under his leadership, the com- pany has grown to more than 50 employees and 250 customers worldwide. The design for testability (DFT) technologies Dr. Wang has developed have been successfully implemented in thousands of ASIC designs worldwide. He currently holds 18 U.S. Patents and 12 European Patents in the areas of scan synthesis, test generation, at-speed scan testing, test compression, logic built-in self-test (BIST), and design for debug and diagnosis. Dr. Wang's work in at-speed scan testing, test compression, and logic BIST has proved crucial to ensuring the quality and testability of nanometer designs, and his inventions are gaining industry acceptance for use in designs manufactured at the 90-nanometer scale and below. He spearheaded efforts to raise endowed funds in memory of his
