BIOGRAPHY
A. Vladimirescu (Life Fellow, IEEE) received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in EECS from the University of California at 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 Ph.D. For many years, he was the R&D Director leading the design and implementation of innovative software and hardware electronic design automation products with Analog Devices, Inc., Daisy Systems, Analog Design Tools, Valid Logic, and Cadence. He is currently a Professor involved in research projects with the University of California at Berkeley, Delft University of Technology, and the Institut Supérieur d’Électronique de Paris, ISEP, as well as a Consultant to industry. He has authored The SPICE Book (Wiley). His research activities are in the areas of ultra-low-voltage CMOS, design, simulation, and modeling of circuits with new devices and circuits for quantum computing.
