John Lillis

• Education:
  • BS Computer Science, University of Washington, 1989
  • MS Computer Science, UC San Diego, 1992
  • PhD Computer Science, UC San Diego, 1996
• Research Interests: My main area of interest is in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). I am particularly interested in layout optimization, logic synthesis, programmable devices and timing optimization. I also have an interest in bridging so-called ``optimization disconnects'' between traditionally sequential design phases (e.g., between logic synthesis and physical design). This work is essentially applied combinatorial optimization and so I have a natural interst in areas such as local search, Integer Linear Programming, optimality studies, and lower bounding techniques.
