  • Subhasish Mitra

    Subhasish Mitra

    William E. Ayer Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Computer Science

    BioSubhasish Mitra holds the William E. Ayer Endowed Chair Professorship in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. He directs the Stanford Robust Systems Group, serves on the leadership team of the Microelectronics Commons AI Hardware Hub funded by the US CHIPS and Science Act, leads the Computation Focus Area of the Stanford SystemX Alliance, and is the Associate Chair (Faculty Affairs) of Computer Science. His research ranges across Robust Computing, NanoSystems, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), and Neurosciences. Results from his research group have influenced almost every contemporary electronic system and have inspired significant government and research initiatives in multiple countries. He has held several international academic appointments — the Carnot Chair of Excellence in NanoSystems at CEA-LETI in France, Invited Professor at EPFL in Switzerland, and Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo in Japan. Prof. Mitra also has consulted for major technology companies including AMD (XIlinx), Cisco, Google, Intel, Merck (EMD Electronics), and Samsung.

    In the field of Robust Computing, he has created many key approaches for circuit failure prediction, CASP on-line diagnostics, QED system validation, soft error resilience, and X-Compact test compression. Their adoption by industry is growing rapidly, in markets ranging from cloud computing to automotive systems, under various names (Silicon Lifecycle Management, Predictive Health Monitoring, In-System Test Architecture, In-field Scan, In-fleet Scan). His X-Compact approach has proven essential to cost-effective manufacturing and high-quality testing of almost all 21st century systems. X-Compact and its derivatives enabled billions of dollars of cost savings across the industry.

    In the field of NanoSystems, with his students and collaborators, he demonstrated several firsts: the first NanoSystems hardware among all beyond-silicon nanotechnologies for energy-efficient computing (the carbon nanotube computer), the first 3D NanoSystem with computation immersed in data storage, the first published end-to-end computing systems using resistive memories (Resistive RAM-based non-volatile computing systems delivering 10-fold energy efficiency versus embedded flash), and the first monolithic 3D integration combining heterogeneous logic and memory technologies in silicon foundry. These received wide recognition: cover of NATURE, several Highlights to the US Congress, and highlight as "important scientific breakthrough" by news organizations worldwide.

    Prof. Mitra's honors include the Harry H. Goode Memorial Award (by IEEE Computer Society for outstanding contributions in the information processing field), Newton Technical Impact Award in EDA (test-of-time honor by ACM SIGDA and IEEE CEDA), the University Researcher Award (by Semiconductor Industry Association and Semiconductor Research Corporation to recognize lifetime research contributions), the EDAA Achievement Award (by European Design and Automation Association, for outstanding lifetime contributions to electronic design, automation and testing), the Intel Achievement Award (Intel’s highest honor), and the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He and his students have published over 15 award-winning papers across 5 topic areas (technology, circuits, EDA, test, verification) at major venues including the Design Automation Conference, International Electron Devices Meeting, International Solid-State Circuits Conference, International Test Conference, Symposia on VLSI Technology/VLSI Circuits, and Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design. Stanford undergraduates have honored him several times "for being important to them." He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a Foreign Member of Academia Europaea.

  • Kunle Olukotun

    Kunle Olukotun

    Cadence Design Systems Professor, Professor of Electrical Engineering and of Computer Science

    BioKunle Olukotun is the Cadence Design Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. Olukotun is a pioneer in multicore processor design and the leader of the Stanford Hydra chip multiprocessor (CMP) research project. He founded Afara Websystems to develop high-throughput, low-power multicore processors for server systems. The Afara multi-core processor, called Niagara, was acquired by Sun Microsystems and now powers Oracle's SPARC-based servers. In 2017, Olukotun co-founded SambaNova Systems, a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence company, and continues to lead as their Chief Technologist.

    Olukotun is the Director of the Pervasive Parallel Lab and a member of the Data Analytics tor What's Next (DAWN) Lab, developing infrastructure for usable machine learning. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an ACM Fellow, and an IEEE Fellow for contributions to multiprocessors on a chip design and the commercialization of this technology. He also received the Harry H. Goode Memorial Award.

    Arogyaswami Paulraj

    Professor (Research) of Electrical Engineering, Emeritus

    BioProf. Arogyaswami Paulraj is an Emeritus Professor at Stanford University. Paulraj's legacy is deeply intertwined with the evolution of wireless communication. His groundbreaking work on MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology laid the foundation for today's ubiquitous 4G/5G networks and high-speed Wi-Fi.

    Paulraj's journey began in the Indian Navy, where he served from 1965 to 1991. During this time, he led the development of the APSOH anti-submarine sonar system and established three key R&D labs for the Indian government. His contributions earned him the prestigious Padma Bhushan award, India's third highest civilian honor.

    Following his naval career, Paulraj joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher. His research focus shifted to wireless communication, where he made groundbreaking contributions to MIMO technology. MIMO enables data transmission using multiple antennas, significantly increasing network capacity and data rates.

    Paulraj's innovation has been recognized with numerous accolades, including the 2024 Royal Acad. Eng. Prince Philip Medal, the 2023 IET Faraday Medal, the 2014 Marconi Prize, and the 2011 IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal. He is also a fellow of nine national academies in engineering, sciences, and the arts, and an inductee of the US Patent Office’s National Inventors Hall of Fame.

    Currently, Paulraj continues to contribute to technological advancement. He chairs several committees for the Government of India, focusing on the Indian Semiconductor Mission and Core ICT initiatives. His dedication to research and development continues to shape the future of wireless communication.
