New and in the News!  Some cool pictures: picture of ICCAD ex com cooking ! picture with Gene Amdahl and his wife! We have been doing research on finFETs (sponsored by NSF and Altera). Check out our latest: ISQED 06 on a cool metric (METS) for measuring electro-thermal properties. DAC 06 on gate sizing for finFETs. Therminic 06 on multi-fin electro-thermal analysis. A journal paper is forthcoming in TVLSI 07, based on our technical report. Check out the cool panels at ICCAD: CEDA is organizing a panel on "Ethics During Transitions". I serve as ICCAD's Past Chair (2007). Check out the press releases and technical program! Women in engineering seek balance--If you thought the workshop "Women in Design Automation" at the Design Automation Conference was a "chick" panel that male engineers could safely ignore, you would be mistaken. Check out the EETimes article on this., and another article about the panel.. Cool article on Dec 18, 2005, on the front page of the Boston Globe about women in Computer Science, mentioning EN47 with a picture of COMP40. I am (have been) on the technical program committees for DAC, DATE, TAU, International Workshop on Logic Synthesis (IWLS), FMGALS workshop, and the executive committee for ICCAD. Check out the latest in the IEEE Transaction on Computer-Aided Design and IEEE Design and Test Magazine! I am involved with the CSEMS and CUSP projects at Tufts! (not so new but still selling!) The Edited Book: Logic Synthesis and Verification, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Nov. 2001. An outline and list of contributors can be found here. You can buy the book here.
