Research interests

David Atienza received his MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science from Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), Spain, and Inter-University Micro-Electronics Center (IMEC), Belgium, in 2001 and 2005, respectively. Currently he is Professor and Director of the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, and Adjunct Professor at the Computer Architecture and Automation Department of UCM. His research interests focus on design methodologies for high-performance embedded systems and Systems-on-Chip (SoC), including new thermal management techniques for Multi-Processor SoCs, dynamic memory management and memory hierarchy optimizations for embedded systems, novel architectures for logic and memories in forthcoming nano-scale electronics, Networks-on-Chip interconnection design, and low-power design of embedded systems.
Role in leading conferences/journals/etc in the area In these fields, David Atienza is co-author of more than 90 publications in prestigious journals and international conferences, such as, IEEE TCAD, IEEE Micro, IEEE T-VLSI Systems, ACM TODAES, Elsevier-Integration: The VLSI Journal, DAC, ICCAD, DATE, ASP-DAC, etc. Also, he is part of the Technical Program Committee of the DATE, ICCAD, GLSVLSI, VLSI-SoC, RTAS, SBCCI and PATMOS conferences, and Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on CAD (in the area of System-Level Design) and Elsevier Integration: The VLSI Journal. He is the general chair of VLSI-SoC 2010 and organizer of several conferences including GLSVLSI ‘09, ISVLSI ‘09 and SBCCI ’09.
