MILPITAS, Calif. –– March 5, 2024 –– Nominations are now being accepted through June 30, 2024 for the Phil Kaufman Award and the Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame sponsored by the Electronic System Design Alliance (ESD Alliance), a SEMI Technology Community, and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA). Nomination forms are available for download on the SEMI website.
The Phil Kaufman award recognizes individuals whose contributions made significant impacts to electronic system design (ESD) in technology innovation, business, industry direction, education or mentoring.
Established in 1994, the Phil Kaufman Award honors electronic design automation industry pioneer Phil Kaufman, who turned innovative technologies such as silicon compilation and emulation into businesses that have benefited electronic designers. Last year’s recipient was Dr. Lawrence T. Pileggi, Coraluppi Head and Tanoto Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
The Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame posthumously recognizes individuals who made significant and noteworthy contributions through creativity, entrepreneurism and innovation to the electronic system design industry and were not recipients of the Phil Kaufman Award.
