EPFL and former Stanford professor acknowledged for his important influence on the digital system design business by pioneering technical contributions
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Giovanni De Micheli, Professor and Director of the Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEL) and of the Integrated Systems Centre on the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, has been honored with the 2022 Phil Kaufman Award for Distinguished Contributions to Electronic System Design. The award is introduced yearly by the Electronic System Design Alliance (ESD Alliance), a SEMI Technology Community, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA).
Dr. De Micheli was acknowledged for his in depth contributions to digital design automation (EDA). His EDA instruments and methodologies analysis has helped drive important advances within the educational area of design automation and made a long-lasting influence on the business by their incorporation into industrial EDA options. Notably, he developed a number of applied sciences whereas inspiring his college students, college researchers and engineers within the business. His work has expanded the fields of high-level synthesis, logic synthesis, and Network-on-Chip (NoC) for greater than 30 years.
“Professor De Micheli, or Nanni to many of us who’ve been driving our industry forward for decades, stands as a relentless advocate for our field,” stated Aart de Geus, Chairman and CEO of Synopsys. “While many predicted our industry was fully matured, he remained focused and creative, be it with the encoding of finite-state machines combined with logic minimization or solving the cell-library mapping problem with Boolean matching. I am not alone when I express my appreciation to Nanni for advancing the field, but most important, for continuing to add findings that keep our profession fresh and exciting!”
“For the over three decades that I have known Professor De Micheli, he has established himself as a true force in the EDA community,” stated Dr. Patrick Groeneveld, previous chair of the Design Automation Conference (DAC). “His key technical contributions lie in the areas of logic synthesis, hardware software co-design, NoC design and physical synthesis.”
“Dr. De Micheli has been a stalwart innovator and supporter of EDA with numerous and lasting contributions, and certainly he well deserves this honor,” stated Gi-Joon Nam, President of the IEEE Council on EDA.
“On behalf of the ESD Alliance, I congratulate Professor De Micheli on receiving the 2022 Phil Kaufman award,” stated Simon Segars, ESD Alliance Chairman. “The industry would not be where it is today without his groundbreaking research, which was often years ahead of its time. His impact on the industry is well-recognized and celebrated with this distinguished award.”
Dr. Giovanni De Micheli is a analysis scientist in electronics and laptop science credited with inventing the NoC design automation paradigm and creating EDA algorithms and design instruments. Before serving as Professor and Director of the Integrated Systems Laboratory at EPFL, he was Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He was Director of the IEL at EPFL from 2008 to 2019 and served as program chief of the Swiss Federal Nano-Tera.ch program.
He holds a Nuclear Engineering diploma from Politecnico di Milano, and Master of Science and Ph.D. levels in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley.
Professor De Micheli is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and IEEE; a member of the Academia Europaea; and an International Honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His present analysis pursuits embrace design applied sciences for built-in circuits and techniques, together with synthesis for rising applied sciences. He can also be fascinated with heterogeneous platform design for electrical elements and biosensors, in addition to in-data processing of biomedical data.
He authored the textbook Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Circuits and co-authored and/or co-edited 10 different books and greater than 900 technical articles. His quotation h-index is above 100 in line with Google Scholar. He is member of the Scientific Advisory Boards of imec Leuven and STMicroelectronics.
Professor De Micheli acquired the 2020 IEEE Technical Committee Achievement Award in Cyberphysical Systems, the 2020 IEEE/CEDA Richard Newton Technical Impact Award, the 2019 ACM/SIGDA Pioneering Achievement Award, and the 2016 European Design and Automation Association (EDAA) Lifetime Achievement Award.
He additionally acquired the 2016 IEEE Computer Society’s Harry Goode Award for seminal contributions to design and design instruments of NoCs; the 2012 IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society’s Mac Van Valkenburg Award for contributions to principle, follow and experimentation in design strategies and instruments; and the 2003 IEEE Emanuel R. Piore Award for contributions to computer-aided synthesis of digital techniques.
He acquired the Golden Jubilee Medal for excellent contributions to the IEEE CAS Society, the D. Pederson Award for greatest paper on IEEE Transactions on Computer Aided Design (CAD)/Integrated Computer Aided System (ICAS), and greatest paper awards at occasions together with DAC; Design, Automation and Test in Europe (DATE); Nanoarch; and Mobihealth.
In addition, he served as Division 1 Director of IEEE, co-founder and President Elect of the IEEE Council on EDA, President of the IEEE CAS Society, and Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on CAD/ICAS. He has additionally chaired the next technical conferences: Memocode; DAC; DATE; pHealth; VLSI SoC; and IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD).
The Phil Kaufman Award honors people who’ve had a demonstrable influence on the sector of digital system design by know-how improvements, schooling/mentoring, or business or business management. The award was established as a tribute to Phil Kaufman, the late business pioneer who turned progressive applied sciences into industrial companies which have benefited digital designers. The 2021 recipient was Dr. Anirudh Devgan, President and CEO of Cadence Design Systems.
The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) supplies a focus for EDA actions unfold throughout seven IEEE societies (Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems, Computer, Electron Devices, Electronics Packaging, Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Solid-State Circuits). The Council sponsors or co-sponsors over a dozen key EDA conferences together with: the Design Automation Conference (DAC), Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC), International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD), Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE), and occasions at Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK). The Council additionally publishes IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits & Systems (TCAD), IEEE Design & Test (D&T), and IEEE Embedded Systems Letters (ESL). The Council boasts a prestigious awards program with the intention to promote the popularity of main EDA professionals, which incorporates the A. Richard Newton, Phil Kaufman, and Ernest S. Kuh Early Career Awards. The Council welcomes new volunteers and native chapters.
