Vijay Raghunathan, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University

Vijay Raghunathan is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University and the director of the Embedded Systems and IoT Lab, which he founded in 2006. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from UCLA and his B. Tech. degree in electrical engineering from IIT Madras, India. At Purdue University, his team investigates the design of new hardware and software architectures for next-generation embedded systems, IoT edge devices, and wearable/implantable electronics, with an emphasis on ultra-low power design, micro-scale energy harvesting, edge analytics, and reliable/secure system design. Vijay also holds an appointment as the Anand Rajaraman and Venky Harinarayan Visiting Chair Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras.

Vijay has co-written more than 100 journal and conference papers (several of which have won best paper and best design awards) and has presented numerous keynotes, invited talks, and tutorials on the above topics. Several of the technologies and systems developed in his lab have been used in academia and industry. He has chaired multiple premier ACM and IEEE conferences and has served on the organizing and technical program committees of many more. He serves as an associate editor of two leading research journals, the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS) and the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN). He also serves as an alternate steering committee member of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), one of the largest international consortia on industrial IoT, fog, and edge computing, which has over 250 member organizations. At Purdue, he serves as the founding director of the Professional MS program in the School of ECE.

About DAC

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for electronic design automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. A diverse worldwide community representing more than 1,000 organizations attends each year, represented by system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives to researchers and academicians from leading universities. More than 75 technical sessions selected by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and suite area with approximately 170 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon, intellectual property (IP) and design services providers. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM SIGDA), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer’s Council on Electronic Design Automation (IEEE CEDA).

Design Automation Conference acknowledges trademarks or registered trademarks of other organizations for their respective products and services.
