👋 Hi, I’m Le Yang

ECSE PhD student at CWRU / UCSD ECE alumni / Analog & Mixed-Signal Circuit Designer

Welcome to my website. I’m a PhD student in Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, where I focus on analog and mixed-signal circuits for biomedical applications. I earned my M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC San Diego, where I explored a broad range of topics in electronic circuits and systems — including low-power circuit design, RFICs (radio-frequency integrated circuits for wireless communication), PMICs (power management ICs such as LDOs and DC-DC converters), and analog/mixed-signal layout. That experience shaped both my technical foundation and my interest in real-world system-level design.

I’m especially interested in ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) that operate reliably under low power and small area constraints. One project involved designing LNAs with subthreshold biasing to achieve high gain and low noise performance within tight power budgets. I’ve also worked on ASK demodulation chains for implantable receivers and current-reuse OTAs for neural signal amplification. Across all these designs, I care not just about performance metrics, but also about how circuits scale, how they behave under variation, and how they’re debugged and validated in real silicon.

I love exploring new ideas and diving into all aspects of circuit design. While my primary focus is integrated circuits, I’m equally curious about applied circuit design at the PCB and breadboard level. Over the years, I’ve built up experience not only through academic research but also through hands-on projects and coursework that span from transistor-level IC design to real-world system implementation. This broad exposure has helped me understand how theory connects to practice — and how design choices affect performance and feasibility at different levels.

This site features a selection of projects I’ve worked on — covering both research and course-related designs. It’s a snapshot of what I’ve built, simulated, and tested across different design domains, with a focus on analog and biomedical circuits. Whether you’re a fellow researcher, a student, or just someone interested in circuits, feel free to look around. I hope you find something interesting — and if you’d like to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out.
