Pederson Honored
Family, friends, and colleagues of Professor Emeritus Donald O.
Pederson gathered on November 16 for a special celebration --
the ceremonial unveiling of the Donald O. Pederson Center for
Electronic Systems Design, located on the fifth floor of Cory
Hall.
More than 40 individuals contributed towards a distinguished professorship
and the new center, both named to honor Pederson for his pioneering
work in integrated circuit and computer-aided design. Roughly
75 graduate students will conduct research in the Cory Hall center,
which was renovated to make more efficient use of space, outfitted
with new equipment, and set up for video conferencing. Pictured
from left are Gary Baldwin, director of the new center and executive
director of the Gigascale Silicon Research Center; Donald Pederson;
and electrical engineering professor Robert Brayton. Electrical
engineering professor Jan Rabaey has been named the first holder
of the distinguished professorship.
