DESCRIPTION:Dr Sani Nassif\, CEO Radyalis & visiting professor at EPFL\nAb
 stract\nThe human race has invested about a trillion dollars in the develo
 pment of semiconductor electronics\, and our lives have been improved grea
 tly as a result. Smart devices are now taken for granted and permeate ever
 y aspect of our daily lives. One of the important products of this huge in
 vestment was the development of sophisticated design optimization and simu
 lation techniques that are quite portable to other areas of R&D. This tal
 k will be\nabout one such area\, namely that of Cancer Radiation Therapy\
 , a domain somewhat removed from microelectronics and representing a late 
 career change.\n\nBio\nSani received his PhD from Carnegie-Mellon universi
 ty in the eighties. He worked for ten years at Bell Laboratories on variou
 s aspects of design and technology coupling. He then joined IBM Research w
 here he was for nineteen years working on DFM in various technical and man
 agement roles. In 2014 he formed Radyalis to apply EDA techniques to Cance
 r Radiation Therapy. Sani is a fellow of the IEEE\, was a member of the IB
 M Academy of Technology\, and an IBM master inventor with 70+ patents. He 
 was the president of IEEE CEDA in 2014-2016\, and has published and presen
 ted widely.\n
