Mark Lin is an Advanced Application Engineer specializing in digital design verification workflows for ASIC and FPGA. Mark was a verification engineer at Broadcom for eight years, where he developed full-chip test environments. He earned a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from California State University of Los Angeles.

Robert Anderson is Principal Application Engineer at MathWorks, with a focus on HDL code generation and verification workflows for SoC, ASIC and FPGA.  Anderson started his career at AT&T Bell Laboratories and as a circuit designer. He then worked at Tellabs Operations as a circuit designer for high density echo-cancellation systems. These included linear cancellation, as well as acoustic cancellation. He also worked at Mentor Graphics, Xilinx, and AccelChip in technical marketing management and application engineering roles, where he specialized in high-level synthesis, optimization of ASIC and FPGA implementations, and MATLAB to HDL. Anderson received the Master’s degree from Northwestern University (2001) in electrical and computer engineering for communications and digital signal processing.
