About
Wayne Chung is a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Design. His research and work span medical systems and devices, robot design, consumer, and industrial products. Chung has taught a variety of courses including First-Year Design Labs, Advanced ID/Product Studio, How Things Are Made, UX Research and Design, and co-teaches Biomedical Engineering Design. He utilizes design research methods and develops new processes to understand the person in context, enabling insight and innovation within complex environments. His approach emphasizes framing problems relative to the human, artifacts, and spatial context, considering material, aesthetics, fit, and user experience. Chung has collaborated with a diverse range of clients and industry partners, including American Eagle Outfitters, Bayer Material Science, BNY Mellon, Bridgestone, Cognizant Technologies, Daimler Trucks, FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Intel Digital Health, LG Electronics, PNC Bank, Procter & Gamble, Radio Flyer, Rubbermaid, Texas Instruments, and Whirlpool Corporation. His medical collaborations include work with Ohio State University’s 8T MRI, veterinary CT systems, and energy storage systems, as well as advising BME industry projects and startups. In robotics, he has contributed to projects such as Snackbot, Chiara Robot, and CMU NREC interior space projects. Chung has professional experience as a design information researcher for the Federal Highway Administration’s Advanced Driver Interface Design and Assessment Project and as an industrial designer for Sundberg-Ferar. Prior to Carnegie Mellon, he taught at The Ohio State University and served as interim Director of the Industrial Design Program at Georgia Tech. His professional service includes elected positions in local IDSA chapters. Chung was recognized by the Design Intelligence Journal as one of the 'Most Admired Industrial Design Educators' in the US. He is the author of 'The Praxis of Product Design in Collaboration with Engineering,' a book that consolidates applied methods, case studies, and a matrix tool derived from industry collaborations and studio-based education. Chung holds a BFA with Honors in Industrial Design with a minor in Business Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a Masters of Industrial Design from the University of the Arts.

articleWe report on Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ SDM855 mobile SoC and world's first commercial 5G platform using industry-leading 7nm FINFET technologies. SDM855 exhibits <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$> 30\%$</tex> CPU performance gain over the previous generation thanks to a new design architecture enabled by dual poly pitch process integration. Low voltage operation and tight spread in power consumption has been achieved through process and design co-development, delivering a high performance and low power solution for both mobile and AI applications. Extending the 7nm technology with 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">nd</sup> -year process enhancement demonstrates up to 50mV CPU Vmin reduction without any change to design rules, which paves the road for an integrated 5G mobile platform with <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$> 10\text{Gbps}$</tex> connectivity.
