Marek Mierzwinski
President and CEO
Marek Mierzwinski received a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics with distinction from Cornell University, and his M.S., Ph.D. from Stanford University. His thesis related to characterization of SiGe inversion base transistors. He has over 23 years of experience in the device modeling, characterization, and simulation industry. At Hewlett-Packard he was a production engineer in the silicon and GaAs fab with responsibilities for CAD tool support, device design, and characterization before becoming the R&D Project Manager responsible for Hewlett-Packard's 40 GHz GaAs IC process. Before leaving Agilent, he was R&D Project Manager responsible for Agilent Technologies's Analog/RF simulator engine and nonlinear device models. He holds one patent.
Patrick O'Halloran
Vice President Engineering
Patrick O'Halloran received his B.S. EE in 1990 from University College Dublin, and his Ph.D. in Microwave/RF CAD in 1997 also from the University College Dublin. Patrick has worked in the EDA industry since 1993 with Hewlett-Packard and Agilent EEsof, specializing in RF Analog circuit simulation. He worked as a developer on Agilent's convolution based transient simulation engine and also on general facilities in the simulation framework. He subsequently became R&D Project Manager responsible for Simulation Architecture and was most recently involved in the integration of Agilent's analog simulator into the Cadence Analog Design environment. In June 2002 O'Halloran co-founded Tiburon Design Automation with the vision of developing next-generation analog modeling and simulation tools. He is currently Vice-President of Engineering at Tiburon and is responsible for product definition, design and development.
Boris Troyanovsky
Chief Technology Officer
Boris Troyanovsky received his B.S. EE from the University of California, Berkeley, where he was awarded the Departmental Citation, given to the graduating senior with the best overall academic performance in the department. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford University under a NSF Fellowship where his thesis was "Harmonic Balance Simulation of Semiconductor Devices." As a senior engineer at Hewlett-Packard, he was a key developer on Hewlett-Packard's (and subsequently, Agilent's) high capacity RFIC/Communication IC simulator. He has extensive experience in tool development, device modeling and product development. At Agilent he was R&D Project Manager responsible for RF system simulation at Agilent Technologies. He also managed research into system simulation capability and behavioral modeling. Boris holds three patents related to circuit simulation.
Robert Dutton
Technical Advisor
Robert W. Dutton is the Robert and Barbara Kleist Professor of Engineering at Stanford University and Director of Research in the Center for Integrated Systems. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1966, 1967, and 1970, respectively. His research interests focus on Integrated Circuit process, device, and circuit technologies--especially the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and parallel computational methods. Dr. Dutton has published more than 200 journal articles and graduated more than four dozen doctorate students. He was Editor of the IEEE CAD Journal (1984-1986), winner of the 1987 IEEE J. J. Ebers Award, 1988 Guggenheim Fellowship to study in Japan and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1991. In December 1996, Dr. Dutton received the Jack A. Morton Award and received the C & C Prize (Japan) in 2000 "For Pioneering Contributions to the Introduction of Practical Computer Simulation into the Manufacturing Process for Semiconductor Devices" His group has developed industry-standard modeling codes such as SUPREM (process modeling in 1D and 2D) and PISCES (2D device modeling). He was a co-founder of Technology Modeling Associates (TMA, acquired by Avant!, then Synopsys), specializing in advanced semiconductor modeling codes.
