A special Workshop on NanoElectronics will be held in Porto Alegre on Monday, November 23.
The Workshop is celebrating 35 years of contributions from Professor Altamiro Susin to the Microelectron- ics technology development in Brazil.
Susin is a pionner in Brazil in the design of MOS digital circuits, like microprocessors, logic datapaths, DSP circuits, and later on systems-on-chip. Prof.
Susin co-founded the UFRGS Microelectronics Design Group (GME) at Universidade Federal do RGS in 1983, while being part of the Graduate Program in Computing (PPGCC) founded in 1972. He was the first faculty focused on Microelectronics design at UFRGS to hold a Ph.D. degree (INPG Grenoble, 1981).
Susin co-founded the Graduate Program (PG) on Informatics (at UTPR), the PG in Electrical Engineering (at UFRGS), and the PG in Microelectronics (at UFRGS). He also counts also 40 years of continuous dedication to the EE Department at UFRGS in undergraduate teaching. Since the early 1980 ́s a large effort was made at Univ. Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in the field of ICs and integrated hardware/software systems design. Far reaching benefits came from the GME Group, for industry and academic professionals alike, and technology advances inspired at UFRGS on DSP, ICs, digital TV circuits, and more which became part of local Brazilian engineering. A large number of professionals work in Universities and companies all over Brazil, who have strong hardware skills which were shaped by Susin ́s inspiration as an Educator, an Engineer, and a Scientist in these fields.
The Workshop takes place at the Instituto de Informática (campus Vale) of the Universidade Federal do Rio do Grande do Sul. It is open to everyone enthusiastic about hardware design and about Prof. Susin ́s contributions to this community of professionals.
