Ronald Rohrer

About

Ron Rohrer is Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. A noted innovator, entrepreneur and professor, Ron is recognized as an early developer of circuit simulation, Integrated Circuit (IC) interconnect reduction and delay calculation. He is credited with driving Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools into broad industry use. Close collaboration with industry is the inspiration for his research. Industrial challenges to be overcome will continue to guide him and his research students and collaborating colleagues. In 1968, in a graduate course he taught at UC, Berkeley, he oversaw the production of an IC simulation program similar to the FairCirc program, a forerunner to SPICE, he had developed earlier at Fairchild Semiconductor.
