DESCRIPTION:Eduardo Sanchez\n« Les aventures numériques d'un Colombien 
 à l'EPFL»\n\nAbstract\n\nFor 40 years\, since his arrival at EPFL in 19
 76 as a Colombian confederation scholar\, Professor Sanchez has been the 
 privileged witness\, and sometimes the actor\, of some of the small and gr
 eat events that shaped the teaching and research of computer science\, pa
 rticularly related to hardware. After an introduction to logical systems\,
  this lesson will allow Professor Sanchez to give his personal vision of t
 his long journey.\n\nThis lecture will be given in French\n\nProgram\n\n5:
 15 pm - Honorary Lecture of Professor Eduardo Sanchez\nIntroduction by Dea
 n James Larus of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences\n\n5:30
  pm - Eduardo Sanchez - « Les aventures numériques d'un Colombien à l'E
 PFL»\n\n6:30 pm - Aperif\n\n\n\nBiography\n\nProfessor Eduardo Sanchez re
 ceived his PhD while working in the Logic Systems Laboratory under the dir
 ection of Professor Daniel Mange at EPFL in 1985. During his career at the
  EPFL\, Eduardo Sanchez has worked first as an assistant (1978-1985)\, the
 n as a lecturer (1981-90) and first assistant since 1985. Finally\, he was
  appointed as an Adjunct professor in 1990. After being attached to the la
 boratory of Prof. Mange until July 31\, 2005\, Professor Sanchez led his r
 esearch and teaching unit autonomously.\n\nFollowing his acceptance in 200
 3 of the new challenge of developing a research and teaching group within 
 the EIVD in Yverdon (later HEIG-VD)\, he has been sharing his time between
  the two institutes. Since 2007\, he became the dean of the IT department 
 at HEIG-VD.\n\nProfessor Sanchez has also been a prolific researcher. His 
 areas of research are essentially as follows: micro-programming and the th
 eory of the "magiciel"\, defined as the art of transformation and equivale
 nce between hardware and software\, processor design\, including a family 
 of watch-making processors\, reconfigurable systems with special emphasis 
 on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)\, model design (POE\, Phylogenes
 is-Ontogenesis-Epigenesis) and bio-inspired digital circuits\, such as the
  scalable Firefly machine produced with the help of FPGAs.
