ECE Professor Madhavan Swaminathan has been chosen for a 2015 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology.

The use of AI in EDA is a hot topic due to significant progress with applying machine learning to the issues of chip design.

ECE Ph.D. student Hakki Mert Torun received the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE 27th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems, held October 14-17 in San Jose, California.

Georgia Tech’s Center for Co-design of Chip, Package System (C3PS) led by Profs. A. Raychowdhury and M. Swaminathan headed-up Georgia Tech’s winning proposal that resulted in a 5 year, $3.5M award that will fund up to 10 GRA positions.

“This paper presents the first reported integrated circuit which implements reinforcement learning at less than a milli-Watt. This can enable a wide variety of applications in autonomous and bio-mimetic systems.”

ECE Professor Madhavan Swaminathan has received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli (NITT) for his pioneering work and leadership in electronic packaging at Georgia Tech and IBM over the last 25 ye
