Hugo de Man

Hugo De Man is a Professor of electrical engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, since 1976. He was a Visiting Associate Professor at UC Berkeley in 1975. His early research was devoted to mixed-signal, switched-capacitor, and DSP simulation tools. In 1984, he was one of the cofounders of IMEC, which, today, is the largest independent semiconductor research institute in Europe with over 1100 employees. From 1984 to 1995, he was the Vice-President of IMEC, responsible for research in design technology for DSP and telecom applications. In 1995, he became a Senior Research Fellow of IMEC, working on strategies for education and research on design of future post-PC systems. His research at IMEC has lead to many novel tools and methods in the area of high-level synthesis, hardware-software codesign, and C++ based design. Many of these tools are now commercialized by spin-off companies like Coware and Target Compilers. In 1999, he received the Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the Phil Kaufman Award of the EDA Consortium, the Golden Jubilee Medal of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, and in 2004, the EDAA Lifetime Achievement Award. Hugo DeMan is an IEEE Fellow and a Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Belgium.
