Luís Miguel Silveira, Full Professor at the IST Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) and INESC-ID researcher, has been chosen as President-Elect of the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA), with a mandate for 2022-2023.

This appointment takes place after professor Luís Silveira has served two mandates, over four years, as vice-president for Publications. As President-Elect, professor Luís Silveira is a member of the Strategy Committee, and represents CEDA in several IEEE forums.

Established in 2005, CEDA is an IEEE Technical Council, which aims to foster design automation of electronic circuits and systems at all levels, and promote the exchange of technical information through conferences – e.g. the prestigious Design Automation Conference (DAC), the Design, Automation and Test in Europe  Conference (DATE), or the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) – as well as seminars and journals (IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of VLSI Circuits, IEEE Embedded System Letters and IEEE Design and Test Magazine).

Professor Luís Silveira is a member of the IEEE since he was a student, he participated in various CEDA’s activities and he was Associate Editor of one of its publications. He is also a regular participant in the numerous activities carried out by CEDA.
