Subhasish Mitra holds the William E. Ayer Endowed Chair Professorship in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. He directs the Stanford Robust Systems Group, serves on the leadership team of the Microelectronics Commons AI Hardware Hub funded by the US CHIPS and Science Act, leads the Computation Focus Area of the Stanford SystemX Alliance, and is the Associate Chair (Faculty Affairs) of Stanford Computer Science. His research ranges across Robust Computing, NanoSystems, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), and Neurosciences. Results from his research group have influenced almost every contemporary electronic system and have inspired significant government and research initiatives in multiple countries. He has held several international academic appointments — the Carnot Chair of Excellence in NanoSystems at CEA-Leti in France, Invited Professor at EPFL in Switzerland, and Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan. Prof. Mitra also has consulted for major technology companies including Cisco, Google, Intel, Merck (EMD Electronics), Samsung, and Xilinx (now AMD).

EDAA Outstanding Dissertations Award 2025

In recognition of the importance of university research to the advancement of design, automation and test, and to encourage young researchers to work in the field, EDAA has established an award for outstanding Ph.D. dissertations in 4 categories:

• Topic 1 – New directions in systems design methods and tools, simulation and validation, embedded software design and optimization for embedded, cyber-physical, secure and learning systems
• Topic 2 – New directions in system-on-chip platforms co-design, novel architectures for future computing in design flows, and power management.
• Topic 3 – New directions in logic, physical design and CAD for analog/mixed-signal, nanoscale and emerging technologies (such as quantum-, neuromorphic- or biological computing).
• Topic 4 – New directions in safety, reliability, security-aware hardware design, validation and test

In each category, one award can be given. Each award consists of a 1000 € prize and certificate. The awards will be presented at the DATE 2025 conference, where the awardees need to be present.

Nomination

Eligible are all Ph.D. dissertations which have been defended in the last 2 years before the submission deadline. The total reporting time should not be more than 6 years since the starting of the PhD that should clearly be stated in the applicant CV.

The nominations must be submitted electronically, exclusively in PDF format, through the following URL address: http://www.edaa.com/awards Details for the nomination PDF can be found in the call linked below.

Nomination deadline is 13 December 2024 at midnight (AOE).
