Recently the world celebrated the 60th anniversary of the invention of the first transistor. The first integrated circuit (IC) was built a decade later, with the first microprocessor designed in the early 1970s. Today, ICs are a part of nearly every aspect of our daily lives. They help us live longer and more comfortably, and do more, faster. All this is possible because of the relentless search... Read more

Biography

Tomasz Wojcicki is currently vice president of engineering and customer engineering support at Sidense Corporation, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He previously worked at the Institute of Electron Technology, Warsaw, Poland, and at MOSAID Technologies, Inc., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (now Conversant Intellectual Property Management). At MOSAID, he was instrumental in growing the company’s design services into a multimillion-dollar business, and served as a director responsible for the development of a family of classification products based on dynamic and static content-addressable memories. He holds an MSEE from Warsaw Technical University, Poland, as well as six patents, and has authored and coauthored several publications.
