Looking Forward to Phil Kaufman Award Ceremony with a Look Back at Previous Years

Getting ready for this year’s Phil Kaufman Award ceremony honoring Dr. Lawrence Pileggi of Carnegie Mellon University made me think back on previous years, especially since two former Phil Kaufman Award recipients have visible roles.

Dr. Andrzej Strojwas from CMU and CTO of PDF Solutions will be the tribute speaker.

Wally Rhines, President and CEO of Cornami and former CEO of Mentor Graphics (now Siemens), will serve as emcee.

Dr. Walden (Wally) Rhines, President and CEO of Cornami and former CEO of Mentor Graphics (now Siemens), will serve as emcee. He is the 2015 Phil Kaufman Award Recipient. The tribute speaker will be Dr. Andrzej Strojwas, also from CMU and currently the CTO of PDF Solutions. He was also honored with the Phil Kaufman Award in 2016.

This blog post includes a few photos from the enjoyable evenings celebrating Wally and Andrzej.
