Phil Kaufman Award
Phil Kaufman Award was established by the EDA Consortium (now Electronic System Design Alliance) to recognize individuals for their impact on electronic design by their contributions to electronic design automation (EDA). It has been dubbed "The Nobel Prize of the EDA Industry".[1]
Contributions are evaluated in any of the following categories:
- Business
- Industry Direction and Promotion
- Technology and Engineering
- Educational and Mentoring
The award was established to honor Phil Kaufman, the deceased former president of Quickturn Systems.
