On March 17, join your fellow Techers to enjoy a fireside chat on Physical Law and a luncheon, featuring 2022 Kyoto Prize recipient Carver Mead, PhD (BS '56, MS '57, PhD '60), the Gordon and Betty Moore Professor of Engineering and Applied Science, Emeritus, and Albert P. Pisano, PhD, dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego.

Mead received the 2022 Kyoto Prize for his pioneering contributions to the field of electronics, which include proposing and promoting a new methodology to divide the design process of very large-scale integration (VLSI) systems into logic, circuit, and layout designs, and separating them from the manufacturing process. He also contributed greatly to the advancement of computer-aided design technology, paving the way to VLSI design automation and facilitating the revolutionary development of today’s VLSI-based electronics and industry.

This special Fireside Chat will be based on Mead’s official Kyoto Prize presentation.
