ISPD Lifetime Achievement Award
This award is given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of physical design automation over multiple decades. The purpose is to recognize their lifetime of achievements and contributions in terms of research work, education, and professional service.
The 2023 International Symposium on Physical Design pays tribute to Prof. Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska for her contributions to the physical design community.
Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska received an MS degree in Applied Mathematics (1971) and a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (1976) from Politechnika Warszawska (Technical University of Warsaw), Poland.
From 1976 to 1982 she was an assistant professor at the Institute of Electron Technology at the Technical University of Warsaw. She was a research engineer at the Electronics Research Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, from 1982 until 1990, when she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, as a professor.
Professor Marek-Sadowska was a member of numerous technical committees, including the Technical Committee of the International Conference on Computer Aided Design, the Technical Committee of the Design Automation Conference, and the Technical Committee of the International Symposium on Physical Design. From 1989 to 1993, she was Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, and from 1993 to 1995, Editor-In- Chief. From 2007 to 2015 she was Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on VLSI Design of Circuits and Systems.
