Bio:  Luciano Lavagno graduated magna cum laude in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy) in 1983.From 1984 to 1988 he was with CSELT Laboratories (Torino, Italy), wherehe was involved in the ESPRIT~802 CVS project that developed a completehigh-level synthesis system.In 1988 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Scienceof the University of California at Berkeley, where he worked on logicsynthesis and testing of synchronous and asynchronous circuits.In 1992 he received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciencefrom the University of California at Berkeley. Since 1993 he has been the architect of the POLIS project(a cooperation between U.C. Berkeley, CadenceDesign Systems, Magneti Marelli and Politecnico di Torino), developing acomplete hardare/software co-design environment for control-dominated embeddedsystems. POLIS is one of the basic technologies behind the Felix Intellectual Property integrationinitiative of Cadence Design Systems.Since 1997 he has participated in the ESPRIT~25443 COSY project, developing(based on the POLIS and Felix technologies) a methodology for softwaresynthesis and performance analysis for embedded systems.Since 1998 he is an Associate Professor at the University of Udine, Italy anda research scientist at Cadence Berkeley Laboratories.His research interests include the synthesis of asynchronous andlow-power circuits, the concurrent design of mixed hardware and software systems,and the formal verification of digital systems. Dr. Lavagno is the author of a book on asynchronous circuit design, theco-author of a book on hardware/software co-design of embedded systems, and haspublished over 80 journal and conference papers.In 1991 he received the Best Paper award at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, CA. He has served on the technical committees ofseveral internationalconferences in his field (namely the DesignAutomation Conference, the International Conference on Computer Aided Design, the European Design Automation Conference). He has also served astechnical committee member or chair of several workshops and symposia(for example, the International Symposiumon Asynchronous Circuits and Systems, the International Workshop onHardware-Software Co-Design, the International Workshop on Logic Synthesis). He has been aconsultant for various EDA companies, such as Synopsys and Cadence.
