Team

The XinDA team has a combined 80 years experience in helping customers tape-out with timing, power and signal integrity. We look forward to be a partner in your upcoming design challenges.


Ken Tseng

CEO

Ken Tseng founded XinDA in 2018 and has served as CEO. Prior to XinDA, he was Distinguished Engineer and Group Director at Cadence Design Systems, co-founder and CTO of Altos Design Automation, and General Manager of Altos Beijing where he pioneered the Liberate suite of fast library characterization tools, a key enabler for low voltage design.  Prior to Altos, Ken invented CeltIC the premier tool for signal integrity analysis.  He holds more than 15 patents and publications in timing, noise and power analysis and characterization, and has over 30 years experience in EDA and semiconductor industries.

Ken received the BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and conducted graduate research in crosstalk timing analysis at Stanford University.


Danny Li

CTO

Dr. Danny Li is founder and CTO of XinDA. Prior to that, he worked for Cadence as Sr. Principle Software Engineer since 2015, during which he specialized in fast and scalable transistor-level algorithms. He was the key developer for Liberate AMS, a highly efficient characterization tool for custom and mixed-signal ICs. He also holds a patent on satisfiability-based transistor-level logic analysis.

Danny received his PhD degree in Electronic Systems from Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. His research topics include logic synthesis, binary sequences, and built-in self test (BIST). He published over 15 papers in major conferences and journals. Danny got his MS degree in SoC Design also from KTH Sweden, and BS degree in Microelectronics from Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Danny has a special interest in algorithm design, C++ language standard, and redstone contraptions in Minecraft.
