Hi
that's my department


Alexander Smirnov   @

In January 2009 I have graduated with a Ph.D. in computer engineering from the Asynchronous Circuits & Systems Group @ the ECE department of College of Engineering  @ Boston University.

I have been working on automatic synthesis of Quasi-Delay Insensitive (QDI) micropipelines for large industrial high-level behavioral specifications. Weaver is the EDA synthesis flow I have been developing.

My research interests include but are not limited to:

  • EDA: algorithms, languages, specification formalisms, architectures, ESL;
  • asynchronous circuits: synthesis, verification, test and applications;
  • timed systems' verification;
  • Petri nets, STG, unfoldings;

Some of my projects @ BU

  • Weaver - asynchronous pipeline synthesis flow (the topic of my PhD research)
  • asyncEDA.com - a future home for everybody interested in self-timed circuits design. I work on it when I get a chance. Weaver updates and documentation will soon be available there along with a forum, links and other information.

Some of the past projects

  • GenSync - extensible framework for data reconciliation (side project)
  • TaxoSynthesis - a tool for asynchronous speed-independent circuits synthesis from STG specifications
  • TranSyt - a tool for the verification of asynchronous concurrent timed systems
