« Les aventures numériques d'un Colombien à l'EPFL»
Abstract
For 40 years, since his arrival at EPFL in 1976 as a Colombian confederation scholar, Professor Sanchez has been the privileged witness, and sometimes the actor, of some of the small and great events that shaped the teaching and research of computer science, particularly related to hardware. After an introduction to logical systems, this lesson will allow Professor Sanchez to give his personal vision of this long journey.
This lecture will be given in French

Biography
Professor Eduardo Sanchez received his PhD while working in the Logic Systems Laboratory under the direction of Professor Daniel Mange at EPFL in 1985. During his career at the EPFL, Eduardo Sanchez has worked first as an assistant (1978-1985), then 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 laboratory of Prof. Mange until July 31, 2005, Professor Sanchez led his research and teaching unit autonomously.
Following his acceptance in 2003 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.
Professor Sanchez has also been a prolific researcher. His areas of research are essentially as follows: micro-programming and the theory of the "magiciel", defined as the art of transformation and equivalence 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, Phylogenesis-Ontogenesis-Epigenesis) and bio-inspired digital circuits, such as the scalable Firefly machine produced with the help of FPGAs.
