Speaker's Bio:

James E. Solomon, Founder Cadence Design Systems

Jim is recognized worldwide as a pioneer in the semiconductor and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industries. Mr. Solomon is a Fellow of the IEEE, holds 23 patents in IC design, and is the author of over 50 technical papers. His best known work on design theory for the monolithic op amp is still taught in universities. In 1997 he was the recipient of the EDAC Phil Kaufman Award for his contributions to design automation.
In 1983, he founded Solomon Design Automation (SDA Systems), later renamed Cadence Design Systems. Over 12 years he held various roles including President and CEO, founder & General Manager of the Analog & Mixed Signal unit, General Manager of the IC unit, and Chief Technical Officer for the company. From 1970 until 1983, he was Director of IC Design for Analog and Mixed Signal chips at National Semiconductor. Starting in 1960, he worked for Motorola, eventually starting and running Linear IC Design at Motorola Semiconductor in Tempe, Arizona. He holds BSEE and MSEE degrees from the University of California, Berkeley CA. Mr. Solomon serves on the boards of Ciranova, Silicon Navigator, AWR, Pyxis, and Nascentric.


Ed Petrus, COO & VP of Engineering, Ciranova

• Ed joined Ciranova in the summer of 2004 bringing with him 20 years of experience in building engineering teams and developing complex software systems.
• Ed spent 10 years at Cadence Design Systems where he was a key architect and developer of SKILL and other components of Cadence's the DFII technology. Before Cadence, Ed started his career in EDA as a software engineer at Daisy Systems. Ed has also held engineering management positions at Military Advantage and Nanomix.
• Ed holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom.
  

Lindor Henrickson, Technology Architect, Ciranova

Lindor presently holds the position of Analog/mixed-signal Technology Architect at Ciranova, an EDA company focused on physical-design solutions for development of advanced ICs and SoCs. Throughout his career, he has held various technical management and R&D positions at institutions such as Agere Systems, TDK, LSI Logic, and Los Alamos Nat'l Labs. His R&D work has focused on deep submicron CMOS analog circuits for GHz communications and high-performance computational algorithms for advanced IC design. Lindor holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland in 1994.

Kevin Steptoe, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Pulsic

Formally with Magma Design Automation as Vice President of Product Engineering. Prior to this role, he held senior management positions at Avant! and Cadence. He has 20 years of experience in EDA, including a period teaching VLSI and CAD tools at University College London.
