IEEE NANO 2022

Andrei Vladimirescu (LF’17) received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in EECS from the University of California, Berkeley, where he was a key contributor to the SPICE simulator, releasing the SPICE2G6 production-level SW in 1981. He pioneered electrical simulation on parallel computers with the CLASSIE simulator as part of his PhD. He is the author of "The SPICE Book" published by J. Wiley and Sons. For many years Andrei was R&D director leading the design and implementation of innovative Electronic Design Automation (EDA) products in software and hardware for Analog Devices Inc., Daisy Systems, Analog Design Tools, Valid Logic and Cadence. Currently he is Professor involved in research projects at the University of California at Berkeley and the Technical University of Delft as well as consultant to industry. His research activities are in the areas of low-voltage low-power CMOS, design, simulation and modeling, circuits with new devices and circuits for quantum computing. Andrei is an IEEE Life Fellow and IEEE CASS Vice-president of Conferences.

Nano-MOS - Foundation of Quantum Computing

Deblina Sarkar is an assistant professor at MIT and AT&T Career Development Chair Professor at MIT Media Lab. She heads the Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek research group. Her group carries out trans-disciplinary research fusing engineering, applied physics, and biology, aiming to bridge the gap between nanotechnology and synthetic biology to develop disruptive technologies for nanoelectronic devices and create new paradigms for life-machine symbiosis. Her inventions include, among others, a 6-atom thick channel quantum-mechanical transistor overcoming fundamental power limitations, an ultra-sensitive label-free biosensor and technology for nanoscale deciphering of biological building blocks of brain. Her PhD dissertation was honored as one of the top 3 dissertations throughout USA and Canada in the field of Mathematics, Physical sciences and all departments of Engineering. She is the recipient of numerous other awards and recognitions, including the Lancaster Award, Technology Review’s one of the Top 10 Innovators Under 35 from India, NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award.
