Larry Nagel wins IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits

EECS alumnus Larry Nagel (B.S. ’69/M.S. ’70/Ph.D. ’75) has won the 2019 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits, named for his graduate advisor EECS Prof. Donald O. Pederson.  The award recognizes outstanding contributions to solid-state circuits and has previously been presented to five EECS professors: Paul Gray, Robert Brodersen, Ping Ko, Chenming Hu and Robert Meyer.  Nagel was cited “for the development and demonstration of SPICE as a tool to design and optimize electronic circuits.”  His Ph.D. dissertation was on SPICE2 and he founded Omega Enterprises in 1998 to consult on analog circuit design, circuit simulation, and semiconductor device modeling.
