Prof. Dennis M. Sylvester, University of Michigan Bio: Prof. Dennis M. Sylvester, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 Dr. Sylvester received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1995. He received his M.S. and Ph.D.degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1997 and 1999, respectively. After completing research with the Advanced Technology Group of Synopsys and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Dr. Sylvester joined the University of Michigan, where he is currently Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He has published numerous articles along with one book and several book chapters in his field of research, which includes low-power circuit design and design automation techniques, design-for-manufacturability, and on-chip interconnect modeling. Dr. Sylvester received an NSF CAREER award, the 2000 Beatrice Winner Award at ISSCC, a 2004 IBM Faculty Award, and several best paper awards and nominations. He has served on the technical program committees of numerous design automation and circuit design conferences and was general chair of two ACM/IEEE workshops. He is currently an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems and IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design. He also helped define the circuit and physical design roadmap as a member of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) U.S. Design Technology Working Group from 2001 to 2003.
