DesignCon 2019 Names Vishram Pandit Engineer of the Year and Announces 2019 Best Paper Award Finalists
January 31, 2019 | GlobeNewswireEstimated reading time: 5 minutes
Finalists for the Engineer of the year award were selected by the editors of Design News and the winner was voted on by the DesignCon community. The award was presented at DesignCon 2019.
“The finalist judges were extremely impressed with the quality of entries we received this year for the Engineer of the Year Award. Vishram Pandit’s dedication for advancing the industry rose above the rest in our open voting. Specifically, impressive was his instrumental role in the development of new PI/SI methodologies that significantly changed how the industry operates,” said Naomi Price, conference content director, UBM. “Pandit’s contributions to the field of engineering have been nothing short of remarkable and it is a privilege to grant him this well-deserved recognition.”
“I’m deeply honored to receive the Engineer of the Year award from such a well-respected institution and also to get the opportunity to contribute to the communities that supported me along my engineering path,” said Pandit.
About Vishram Pandit
Pandit currently serves as a SoC Platform Architect at Intel where he brings his 20+ years of experience in electronic engineering to focus on finding ways to improve and co-optimize system power delivery spanning PCB, Package, and Chip. At Intel, Pandit leads and provides technical guidance on developing various new PI/SI methodologies that support spec development, optimization, area savings, Platform BOM cost reduction, and product quality improvement.
Pandit has been a key contributor to methodologies in on-chip power integrity, system-level power integrity impact, and signal/power integrity co-design, successfully deploying them on various Intel products. During his tenure at Intel, Vishram has received various awards for his technical contributions and became co-author of a book, “Power Integrity for I/O Interfaces: with Signal Integrity/Power Integrity co-design” in addition to being co-author of approximately 30 conference and journal publications.
Pandit is an active member of the DesignCon Technical Program Committee and serves as a co-chair for Track 11, covering power integrity in power distribution networks.
This year at DesignCon, Pandit will be presenting at the technical session, “ Electrical Integrity for LPDDR5 Memory Technology.”
About DesignCon Best Paper Awards
DesignCon Best Paper Awards recognize outstanding contributions to the educational goals of the DesignCon program. DesignCon Best Paper Award recipients are selected through a two-prong process. The first step is a review of the full-length papers accepted for the current year’s program. Members of the DesignCon Technical Program Committee rank these papers based on quality, relevance, impact, originality, and lack of commercial content, which determines the finalists. While selection as a finalist for a DesignCon Paper Award is a notable achievement in itself, winners are then chosen from the finalists based on the quality of their presentations. Presentation quality is judged based on audience feedback collected at DesignCon.

DesignCon 2019 is also supported by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),offering its accreditation to conference attendees. Each conference hour is equivalent to one professional development hour (PDH), and 10 PDH’s result in one continuing education unit (CEU) and an official IEEE certificate. IEEE accreditation can be used to meet training requirements, stand out to future employers, and maintain an engineering license.
