BSc EE Student Samantha van Rijs wins the EDA Competition at SMACD 2023 Conference
- Tuesday, 11 July 2023
Third year BSc EE Samantha van Rijs wins the Enhance Design Automation For Integrated Circuits And Systems (EDA) competition at the International Conference on Synthesis, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design (SMACD) with her paper on “Single-Electron-Transistor Compact Model for Spin-Qubit Readout.”
The EDA competition is an opportunity for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students to compete with their best ideas, methodologies, flows and tools. Samantha is not only the very first BSc students to enter the competition, but she also wins a prize and joins the hall-of-fame in SMACD. This research is a part of Samahta’s Honours Programme Bachelor (HPB) thesis supervised by Ilke Ercan (EEE-ME) and Fabio Sebastiano (QCE) in collaboration with Andrei Vladimirescu (UC Berkeley).
The winners of the EDA competition are selected based on the quality of the paper, of its presentation at the conference, and the live demonstration based on complexity, level of automation, designer interface, applicability of the proposal, robustness of the design solutions, and integration degree with commercial design suites and design methodologies.
