Rate My Professor Enoch Hwang

Hwang's research specializations include the design of microprocessor and microcontroller circuits optimized for power consumption, speed, resource usage, and size reduction; applications of controller circuits in embedded systems; embedded microprocessor and microcontroller design; hardware/software co-design; digital logic circuit design; robotics and automation; mobile computing; computer architecture; human-computer interface and mobile app development; and Internet of Things. He is the author of prominent textbooks such as “Digital Logic and Microprocessor Design with VHDL” (Thomson, 2006), “Digital Logic and Microprocessor Design with Interfacing” (Cengage, 2017, 2nd Edition), and the latter's Chinese translation (Cengage, 2017). Key publications also encompass “FSMD Functional Partitioning for Low Power” (Design, Automation and Test in Europe, 1999), “Power Reduction for Embedded Dedicated Microprocessor” (Hawaii International Conference on Computer Sciences, 2004), “Building a Custom System-On-A-Chip” (International Conference on Embedded Systems and Applications, 2004), and Circuit Cellar articles including “Build a VGA Monitor Controller” (2004) and “Where is the Hardware?” (2003). Among his honors are a Congressionally Directed Grant ($95,000, 2006), Altera University Program grant ($30,000 in hardware and software, 2001-2007), first prize in the Zilog circuit design contest for “eZ80 Standalone Single Board Computer” (2002), and a Summer Research Fellowship from the University of California, Riverside (1995).
