Massoud and Nieuwoudt win ISQED Best Paper Award

ECE Assistant Professor Yehia Massoud and graduate student Arthur Nieuwoudt, won the best paper award at the 2007 International Symposium on Quality Engineering Design, ISQED for their paper entitled "Assessing the Implications of Process Variations on Future Carbon Nanotube Bundle Interconnect Solutions".  ISQED is one of the premiere international conferences in electronic design and design automation.

Massoud is the director of the Rice Automated Nanoscale Design Group and Assistant Professor in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.  He leads research efforts targeting the modeling and design of innovative circuits, systems, and interconnect based on both carbon nanobutes and nanophotonic structures.  In addition, Massoud leads parallel research efforts targeting variability-aware optimization, modeling, and automated synthesis techniques for analog/RF/Mixed signal circuits and systems as well as methodologies for interconnect-centric Network-on-Chip and thermally aware design.
