Giovanni De Micheli

Giovanni De Micheli is a pioneer in creating methods and tools that synthesize algorithmic descriptions of computation and communication into digital circuits and networks. He is a founding father of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), a primary field of Computer Science and Engineering whose essence is to automate and optimize the design of integrated circuits and systems. His work has enabled many integrated circuit realizations that are present in current computers, telephone and consumer products, and exploiting some of the technologies that he has invented, such as Networks on Chips, Dynamic Power Management and Hardware Compilation.
