Wojciech P. Maly Inducted into the Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame

 
September 24th, 2024 by Bob Smith, Executive Director

Dr. Wojciech P. Maly is our 2024 inductee into the Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame awarded posthumously to members of the industry who made major contributions but did not receive the Phil Kaufman Award during their lifetime.

Dr. Maly, a pioneer in broad spectrum research in electronic system design and distinguished professor from Carnegie Mellon University, died in 2021. Recognized for his out-of-the-box thinking in 3D IC research, Dr. Maly’s research interests focused on interfaces between VLSI design, testing and manufacturing with an emphasis on the stochastic nature of phenomena relating to these three VLSI domains. He authored, co-authored and edited numerous books, journal and conference papers, as well as patents to promote integration of design, test and manufacturing.

The Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame is co-sponsored by the Electronic System Design (ESD) Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA).
