C2S2 student wins ACM/SIGDA Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award

C2S2 student Nishant Patil, advised by Prof. Subhasish Mitra at Stanford University, was selected for the ACM/SIGDA Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award. His PhD dissertation, titled 'Design and Fabrication of Imperfection-Immune Carbon Nanotube Digital VLSI Circuits', presents design and processing techniques to overcome fundamental challenges in creating digital VLSI circuits using Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs). These techniques resulted in the first demonstration of VLSI arithmetic and storage circuits using CNFETs. The ACM/SIGDA Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award is given each year to an outstanding PhD dissertation that makes the most substantial contribution to the theory and/or application in the field of electronic design automation.
