Thank You

It is an honor to announce that we have crossed a major milestone in the history of the Cadence Academic Network – our 10-year anniversary celebrating a decade full of accomplishments. What began as a pilot venture in Central Europe, grew exponentially into a global success story.

The academic network is so much more than a standard university program. It is a marriage between industry and academia that is unique in the semiconductor ecosystem. Fruitful long-term relationships have been forged with professors and students because we value the benefits of a collaborative environment.

The program is an essential part of our commitment to help develop the next generation of engineers. According to Cadence CEO Lip-Bu Tan, “Our university program reaches out to the best students at key universities. We also engage heavily with the professors to make sure they understand that electronic design automation is still very important and relevant.”

The Cadence Academic Network started in 2007 as a pilot in Central Europe. A few years later, we introduced our learning and collaboration methods to Eastern Europe, Russia and eventually all of EMEA. In 2015, the Academic Network started a global expansion to the Americas and followed that to Asia-Pacific in 2016. We will continue to expand this innovative educational program to new bounds.

Going back at our inception in 2007, we could only imagine what the future would bring. Now as we look forward to the next ten years, we will strive to develop and improve the program to equip pioneering scholars with the resources they need to achieve greatness. The Cadence Academic Network will continue to be a key contributor in the intellectual and scholastic community for many years to come.

Video Challenge Top Winners

Thank you for the overwhelming response to the video challenge. We are excited by the level of dedication and passion that the university members have towards the Academic Network. We would like to announce the Top Winners:

EMEA

  • Ruhr – University Bochum
  • University of Reutlingen

Americas

  • Duke University
  • University of Mississippi
  • Wayne State University

APAC

  • National Cheng Kung University
  • Shanghai Jiao Tong University

The Challenge

We asked our members to share their story of how the program has impacted their teaching, learning, or research. To enter the video challenge, they were asked to submit an essay of 300 to 1000 words that answered these questions:

  • How has participation in the Cadence University Program impacted your institution and classroom?
  • If access to a Cadence expert was provided to your institution, how would you use your time with the expert?

Authors of selected essays were invited to showcase their creativity by turning the essay into a short video.

Winners Received

  • A visit by a Cadence technical expert to help maximize use of Cadence tools
  • Free airfare and accommodations to a regional CDNLive event in 2018

The Cadence iLS courses, laboratories, and Rapid Adoption Kits have been tremendously useful in rapidly improving my research team and student skill set in electronic design automation. I strongly recommend using the iLS tools if you want to effectively improve your EDA and digital design skill set.

Dr. Matthew Morrison, Assistant Professor, University of Mississippi

Cadence is a leader in supporting technical and professional activities that have enabled building an EDA community. ACM SIGDA is very appreciative of the their continued support to nurture young professionals and students through sustained support of activities at major EDA conferences.

Dr. Vijaykrishnan Narayanan, ACM SIGDA Chair, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University

We are grateful for the engagement with Cadence over the past 10 years. It has led us to innovative breakthroughs and has helped us educate pioneering scholars for the future workforce in EDA.

Dr. Xin Li Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University

Cadence Academic Network support is the key to enabling our capabilities in innovating integrated circuit and system design with extreme energy/power efficiency. The quality of Cadence tools is outstanding and offers responsive support to address the challenges posed by new design methodologies and techniques.

Prof. Massimo Alioto, IEEE Fellow Director of the Integrated Circuit and Embedded Systems Lab, National University of Singapore

The greatest benefit that we get from the Cadence Academic Network is access to the most modern tools for electronic design automation.

Professor Ulrich Bruening, University of Heidelberg, Germany

The Academic Network helps us to be in line with the newest technology from Cadence, helping my research to stay at the leading edge.

Professor Michael Huebner, Ruhr-University of Bochum, Germany

The comprehensive reach of the Cadence Academic Network has help us cover every aspect of design from analog circuitry to digital and system design, so it is extremely useful for us.

Professor Mladen Berekovic, Braunschweig University of Technology

Cadence has made us confident in our work, because we know that we are instructing students in the most modern and capable tools which are used worldwide.

Professor Marek Wójcikowski, Gdansk University, Poland

We are proud to be part of Cadence Academic Network because it provides us the opportunity to interact with other leading institutions covering a broad range of research topics.

Professor Holger Blume, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany
