If I were to capture the essence of my work in a newspaper headline, I’d say…

“Diverse body of work in AI hardware, Processing in Memory, Cyber-Physical Systems, Computational RFID, spintronics, and nanoelectronics”

Background

Mircea R. Stan is teaching and doing research in the areas of AI hardware, Processing in Memory, Cyber-Physical Systems, Computational RFID, spintronics, and nanoelectronics. He is Director of Computer Engineering, leads the High-Performance Low-Power (HPLP) lab and is an associate director of the Center for Automata Processing (CAP). He presented the topic of PIM in the IEDM 2018 short course: “It’s All About Memory, Not Logic!!!”. Prof. Stan received the Ph.D. (1996) and the M.S. (1994) degrees from UMass Amherst and the Diploma (1984) from the Politehnica University in Bucharest, Romania. Since 1996 he has been with the ECE Department at UVa, where he is now the Virginia Microelectronics Consortium (VMEC) endowed chair. He was a visiting faculty at UC Berkeley in 2004-2005, at IBM in 2000, and at Intel in 2002 and 1999. He received the 2018 Influential ISCA Paper Award (For 2003 paper “Temperature-aware microarchitecture”), the NSF CAREER award in 1997 and was a co-author on best paper awards at ASILOMAR19, LASCAS19, SELSE17, ISQED08, GLSVLSI06, ISCA03 and SHAMAN02 and IEEE Micro Top Picks in 2008 and 2003. He gave keynotes at iSES23, GLSVLSI23, NILES22, DCAS18, SOCC16, CogArch16, WoNDP15, iNIS15 and CNNA14. He was the chair of the VSA-TC of IEEE CAS in 2005-2007, general chair for ISLPED06 and GLSVLSI04, TPC chair for SOCC18, ISVLSI17, NanoNets07 and ISLPED05, and on technical committees for numerous conferences. He is Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE TVLSI and was Senior Editor for the IEEE TNano (2014-2023), and AE for IEEE Design & Test (2016-2022), for IEEE TNano in 2012-2014, for IEEE TCAS I in 2004-2008 and for IEEE TVLSI in 2001-2003. He was Guest Editor for the IEEE Computer special issue on Power-Aware Computing in December 2003 and a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE CAS Society in 2012-2013 2004-2005, and 2020-2022, and for the SSCS Society in 2007-2008. Prof. Stan is a fellow of the IEEE, a member of ACM, and of Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi. His h-index is 57 and his i10-index is 161.
