Giving Thanks

 
November 25th, 2019 by Bob Smith, Executive Director

As we prepare for Thanksgiving here in the U.S., the ESD Alliance gives thanks to individuals like Dr. Mary Jane (Janie) Irwin, this year’s Phil Kaufman Award recipient, who have made this industry so great!

As Dr. Valeria Bertacco noted, Janie is a strategic and visionary leader, and mentor in the EDA and computer architecture communities.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll be back next week with another blog post.
