SAT – Nano-Networks

The Nano-Networks SAT positions itself at the intersection of two worlds, namely, emerging nano-technologies on one-side, and network/communication theory on the other side. The SAT will advance and coordinate research in modeling, design, simulation, and fabrication of network and communication systems at the nano-scale, based on the new communication paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale devices.

Mircea Stan - Committee Chair

University of Virginia

Mircea Stan is an associate professor in the ECE Department at the University of Virginia doing research in the areas of high-performance low-power VLSI, temperature-aware circuits and architecture, embedded systems, and nanoelectronics. He has more than eight years of industrial experience, has been a visiting faculty at UC Berkeley in 2004-2005, at IBM in 2000, and at Intel in 2002 and 1999. He has received the NSF CAREER award in 1997 and best paper awards at GLSVLSI 2006, ISCA 2003 and SHAMAN 2002. He is the chair of the VLSI Systems and Applications Technical Committee (VSA-TC) of IEEE CAS, general chair for ISLPED 2006 and for GLSVLSI 2004, technical program chair for NanoNets 2007 and ISLPED 2005, and has been on technical committees for numerous conferences. He has been an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems Systems I since 2004 and for the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems in 2001-2003. He has also been a Guest Editor for the IEEE Computer special issue on Power-Aware Computing in December 2003 and a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) in 2007-2008, and for the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society for 2004-2005. Prof. Stan is a senior member of the IEEE, a member of ACM, IET, and also of Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi.
