  Construction of heuristic algorithms to aid semi-conductor designers centre and improve analogue circuit performance and management of the Development team. As head of the Development team at Thalia Design Automation my role is to oversee development of the suite of EDA tools for heloping designers migrate circuits from technology node to another and produce derivates. These softwares include: technology analysis to pre-evaluate a technology and identify key issues; Porting to migrate a circuit in one technology node to another; Design Enabling to assist the designer in centring the migrated circuit; and Layout to assist in layout of a circuit. In particular my role is to design new and original algorithms to help centre a circuit. This involves idenifying key components and adjusting parameters to find the best design across process corners and voltage supplies. Show less

  Development of mathematical models and methods for simulating national and international agricultural production, supply and demand. In particular was the development of a unique method that integrated two distinct branches of mathematics, Operations Research and Statistics, to predict multiple-criteria human decision making under economic and physical constraints.
