Envis Management

		AJ Sen President and Chief Executive Officer AJ brings 18 years of semiconductor and systems experience to Envis, along with early-stage startup experience as founder of three companies. Most recently, Sen was CEO of mSilica Incorporated, a supplier of power management ICs for LED lighting, including the backlighting in notebooks, monitors and LCD TVs. In addition to founding eSilicon Corporation, a fabless ASIC vendor, he was CEO / president and founder of both Astro Semiconductor, an analog IC design company, and PulseCore Semiconductor, a supplier of mixed-signal timing products. He started his engineering career at Zilog and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BSEE from California State University, Chico.

		Hamid Savoj Chief Technology Officer and VP of engineering Hamid joined Envis in September 2006 as Chief Technology Officer and VP of engineering. Previously, Hamid co-founded Magma Design Automation in 1997, where he most recently served as Senior VP of product development. From 1994 to 1997, Hamid was a senior member of the consulting staff at Cadence. Hamid holds a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley, and a BSEE from California Institute of Technology.

		Holly Stump VP Marketing Holly Stump joined Envis as its vice president of marketing. Prior to joining Envis, Holly Stump was vice president of marketing at Sequence Design. She was executive editor of PFI's “A Practical Guide to Low-Power Design.” Stump cofounded or was on estaff at several successful EDA startups acquired by industry leaders, including Logic Modeling Systems (now Synopsys), Precedence (Mentor Graphics), and Interconnectix (Mentor Graphics). She also held senior marketing and business development positions at Cadence Design Systems, IKOS, and Valid Logic Systems. Holly began her career designing ICs at HP, and earned her BSEE at Illinois Institute of Technology (cum laude), and MS Engineering Management at Stanford University.

Technical Advisory Board

		Dr. Robert K. Brayton Dr. Robert K. Brayton, Cadence Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley, and recipient of the 2007 Phil Kaufman Award for Distinguished Contributions to Electronic Design Automation (EDA), is an industry pioneer and one of the world's authorities in logic synthesis and formal verification. Dr. Brayton's seminal contributions to logic synthesis have been critical to the design of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and the development of CAD products that use logic synthesis software. Additionally, he co-developed the Sparse Tableau Approach and the Backward Differentiation Formulas. Their implementation as early Circuit Simulation software influenced SPICE, HSPICE™ and Spectre®. From 1961-1987, Dr. Brayton was employed with the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where he and his colleagues worked on the Yorktown Silicon Compiler that led to combining synthesis and place and route techniques.

		Dr. Massoud Pedram Dr. Massoud Pedram is a professor and Chair of the Computer Engineering division of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California. His research has received a number of awards including two Best Paper Awards from the International Conference on Computer Design, two Design Automation Conference Best Paper Awards, an IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems Best Paper Award, and an IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Guillemin-Cauer Award. He has published more than 300 journal and conference papers and written four books on various aspects of low power design. Dr. Pedram is a recipient of the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Award (1994) and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (a.k.a. the Presidential Faculty Fellows Award) (1996).
