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. -

Louie Montoya
Lecturer
BioA self-proclaimed deeper learning education nerd, Louie Montoya joined the d.school in 2018 to work with educators on learning and implementing design in the classroom. Today he leads the Deeper Learning Puzzle Bus, a K12 lab mobile experiment designed to look at how “escape rooms” can change the way educators think about measurement and assessment, as well as bring more delight into the classroom.
A first generation Mexican American raised across the western hemisphere, Louie developed an interest in other cultures that anchors his work on behalf of equitable practices in the design process. As an experience designer at the Business Innovation Factory in Rhode Island, Louie co-designed and ran the Teachers for Equity Fellowship that worked with educators across the United States to address issues of racial inequity in their schools and classrooms. As a member of the Deeper Learning network Louie focuses on building capacity around skills such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking with students.
