Talk on IC Design

Last week, I gave an invited talk at a hybrid event in Lima, Peru, entitled ”Open Gate: A Top-Down Silicon Journey”. This event was led by the IEEE CAS Student chapter of the National Major University of San Marcos (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos), Lima, Peru, and co-organized by

OpenIC

I am thrilled to share that a couple of months ago I founded OpenIC. This is a new organization focusing on Research & Develoment (R&D) of Integrated Circuits (ICs) and surrounding electronics using Open-Source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. We aim to work closely with Universities, Research Institutions,
