Event Description
This Workshop is a derivative of class room training provided by The Altera® University Program Training courses. This program is meant to provide introduction to the many state-of-the-art educational materials Altera has developed to enrich your digital logic and computer optimization skills. This course will include development hardware to be used along with hands on training.
Instructor Stephen Brown received his Ph.D and M.A.Sc degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto, and his B.A.Sc degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick. He joined the University of Toronto faculty in 1992, where he is a Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. He is also the Director of the University Program at the Intel Programmable Solutions Group (formerly the Altera Toronto Technology Centre), a world-leading research and development site for CAD software and FPGA architectures.
His research interests include field-programmable VLSI technology, CAD algorithms, and computer architecture. He is a principal investigator in the LegUp project, which provides an open-source high-level synthesis framework. He won the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Councils 1992 Doctoral Prize for the best Ph.D. thesis in Canada.
He has won multiple awards for excellence in teaching electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science courses. He is a coauthor of more than 100 scientific research papers and three textbooks: Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design, Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design , and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. |
