This is not the end; I will continue to explore the field of EDA. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my supervisor, Prof. Xie, and the whole lab group. EDA was a completely new field for me when I first enrolled in 2024, and they have helped me tremendously. I hope that I will not disappoint them in the future with their teachings and support.
