Dr.Yung to head new Intel China research center. This is great news for Intel investers. Story follows: Dr. Robert Yung to Head New Intel China Research Center; Former Sun Researcher Named Intel's Chief Technologist for China September 3, 1998 6:31 PM EDT SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1998--Dr. Robert Yung will head Intel Corporation's new research center in Beijing, China, the company announced today. Yung will drive development of the new center, which was announced in May by Intel Chairman, Dr. Andrew S. Grove. The Intel China Research Center will do applied research to improve the ease-of-use of personal computers with a particular focus on the Internet and input technologies such as speech recognition. "Robert Yung combines extensive experience in Asia with excellent research credentials," said Dr. Richard Wirt, Intel Fellow and director of Intel's Microcomputer Laboratories. "We're very pleased to have him on board as Director of Intel China Research and Chief Technologist for China." "China is a particularly appropriate location for the Center," Yung said. "It's a big and fast-growing market with a rich supply of well-trained scientists and engineers. The Chinese language also poses special challenges in computing, and we're looking forward to doing some good research that will benefit both Chinese computing and other countries as well." The Center will conduct its own research and will also fund projects at China's leading universities and research institutes. "We intend to work very closely with the nation's academic community," Yung said. Immediately prior to joining Intel, Yung was Sun Microsystems' Chief Technology Officer for the Asia region and was a researcher at Sun Microsystems' Laboratories. At Sun, he started the 64-bit Ultra-SPARC(1) microprocessor program and co-invented the Visual Instruction Set, a multimedia instruction set extension to SPARC microprocessors. Earlier, he worked for S3 and Nexgen Microsystems and was a co-founder of Xonologic Inc. Yung holds BA, MS and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, and has been a visiting professor at the University since 1995. He is the author of over 12 issued patents and more than 20 pending patents. Yung has published extensively in technical journals and spoken at industry conferences. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and has served on the Strategic Computing Working Group of the Association of Computing Machinery as well as the National Science Foundation. He will relocate to Beijing and will report to Wirt, who heads a staff of research professionals at laboratories in the United States, Israel, Russia and China. The company's Microcomputer Labs work in circuit design, CPU architectures and compilers, computer platforms, software development tools and technologies for emerging applications.
