Biography

Dr. Milor received her B.S. degree in Engineering Physics from the University of California at Berkeley.  She received her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1992 from the University of California at Berkeley.  Her Ph.D. thesis was on testing of analog and mixed signal circuits.

Prior to joining Georgia Tech, Dr. Milor served as Vice President of Process Technology and Product Engineering at eSilicon Corporation, as Product Engineering Manager at Advanced Micro Devices, Sunnyvale, California, and was a faculty member at the University of Maryland in College Park.

Dr. Milor has over 200 publications on yield and test of semiconductor ICs.  Nine papers have over 50 citations in google scholar and eight papers have received “best paper” awards.  She has graduated 18 Ph.D. students.  She has served as a consultant and expert witness in areas of circuit design, test, and semiconductor manufacturing, and has experience in testifying and depositions.
