RESEARCH PROFILE

Lech Jóźwiak is a Professor Emeritus in the Electronic Systems group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

His research interests include system and circuit theory and technology; design theory and technology; design automation, including EDA tools; embedded and cyber-physical systems; application-specific systems and circuits; custom computing machines; programmable hardware; re-configurable computing; algorithm and architecture co-development; hardware and software co-design; decision theory, artificial intelligence; formal methods in design; design validation, testing and fault tolerant computing. He developed the methodology of quality-driven design, the theory of general structural decomposition, the theory of information relationships and measures, information-driven approach to circuit synthesis, numoerous EDA methods and tools, several embedded and cyber-physical systems and several heuristic AI search methods.

He is an Editor in Chief of Microprocessors and Microsystems journal, Subject Area Editor of the International Journal of High Performance Systems Architecture, and was a  Subject Area Editor of the Journal of Systems Architecture and of the Journal of Computer Research. He was a in a number of journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on CAD, IEE Proceedings on Computers and Digital Techniques, and Electronic Letters, and Guest Editor of several special journal issues. He is the Steering Committee Chairman of the Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD), and is or was a Program Chairman of several conferences, including CPS&IoT and MECO.  

Jóźwiak authored or co-authored more than 200 journal and conference papers and book chapters.

I am proude of my methodology of quality-driven design of embedded and cyber-physical systems, my theory of information relationships and measures, and my information-driven approach to circuit synthesis.”
