to modern science and research. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active
academics in all fields to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues
beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to

About the Editors
Boris Murmann received his Ph.D. degree from the University of California,
Berkeley in 2003 and serves as a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford
University.Hisresearchinterestsareinmixed-signalintegratedcircuitdesign,with
a focus on sensor interfaces, data converters, and custom circuits for embedded
machine learning. He has served as an associate editor of the IEEE Journal of
Solid-State Circuits, an AdCom member, and a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE
Solid-State Circuits Society, as well as the data converter subcommittee chair and
the technical program chair of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits
Conference (ISSCC). He is a fellow of the IEEE.
Bernd Hoefflinger became an assistant professor at Cornell University, Ithaca,
NY, USA, after completing his Ph.D. at the Technical University of Munich,
Germany. He was a co-founder of the MOS Division of Siemens in Munich and
founded the electrical engineering department of the University of Dortmund,
Germany, which houses the first Ion-Implanted BiCMOS production line. After
serving as the head of the electrical engineering departments at the University of
Minnesota and then at Purdue University in Indiana, he established the Institute of
Microelectronics Stuttgart, Germany, as the first ISO 9000-certified research and
manufacturing facility—a leader in ASICs, HDR vision, and e-beam-driven nan-
otechnology.

company. From 2014 to 2015, he was a visiting scholar researcher with the
Berkeley Wireless Research Center, Berkeley, CA, USA. In 2016, he joined the
Delft University of Technology, where he is currently an assistant professor
(tenured). He has co-authored one book, two chapters, 11 patents, and over 40
technical publications. His current research interests include RF/millimeter-wave
integrated circuits and systems for wireless communications and cryogenic elec-
tronics for quantum computation. He has been a committee member of ISSCC
Student Research Preview since 2017 and will join as a technical program com-
mittee of ESSCIRC in 2020. He was a co-recipient of the 2015–2016 IEEE
Solid-State Circuits Society Pre-Doctoral Achievement Award and the 2019
IEEE ISSCC Best Demo Award. In 2019, he received the Veni Award from the
Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.
Harry S. Barowski studied physics at the University of Regensburg, where he
graduatedinlow-temperaturephysics1994.Hefinishedhisdoctoraldegreein1997
on far and infrared spectroscopy on various types of cuprate-based
high-temperature superconductors. After finishing his doctoral study, he started
his career as logic designer of mainframe processors at IBM Research and
Development in Boeblingen, Germany. Here he worked in logic design as logic
design engineer professional of computational units for high-performance proces-
sors for P and Z systems and gaming consoles (Cell processor for Sony
Playstation). He also was engaged in the field of formal logic verification and
customcircuitdesign.Hecurrentlyisfocussedoncustomarraydesignandphysical
and logical design verification methodologies. As IBM master inventor, he drives
technical innovations and new technologies. He contributed to several aspects of
IBM system Q, such as design of classical hardware components to the IBM Q
SystemOne,superconductingchipdesignandwascoachingtheIBMExtremeBlue
internship on implementation of the well-known HHL algorithm to solve a system
of linear equations into Qiskit.
Andrew Bartolo received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in computer science from
StanfordUniversity,Stanford,CA,USA,whereheiscurrentlyworkingtowardthe
Ph.D. degree in computer science. His work focuses on hardware and software
support for computation immersed in memory. His current research interests
include the fields of architecture, compilers, digital design, and networking.
Luca Benini holds the chair of digital circuits and systems at ETHZ and is a full
professorattheUniversitàdiBologna.Hisresearchinterestsareinenergy-efficient
parallel computing systems, smart sensing micro-systems, and machine learning
hardware. He has published more than 1000 peer-reviewed papers and five books.
