El diseño de circuitos integrados es una de las principales áreas tecnológicas en ciencias e ingeniería que ha permitido el gran desarrollo de la electrónica en las ultimas décadas. Los fabricantes de circuitos integrados o chips desarrollan múltiples tecnologías, las cuales se hacen disponibles a empresas de diseño de circuitos
The design of integrated circuits is one of the main technological areas in science and engineering which has enabled the development of electronics in the last decades. Semiconductor foundries, which manufacture integrated circuits or chips, develop multiple technologies which are made available to circuit design companies through process design kits
It is a roller coaster. You get some win and a lot of loses. I am still adjusting to the reality that rejections are part of the process. I mean, I know it conceptually. But it still hits me and bothers me when things don't go as planned.
Certainly, I struggle with writing down the things I do and sharing them frequently enough, neither I am good at keeping in touch with people. Yet, I want to steer towards sharing more my journey of building OpenIC from the ground up. As a founder, I am wearing all the

Last week, I gave an invited talk at a hybrid event in Lima, Peru, entitled ”Open Gate: A Top-Down Silicon Journey”. This event was led by the IEEE CAS Student chapter of the National Major University of San Marcos (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos), Lima, Peru, and co-
I am thrilled to share that a couple of months ago I founded OpenIC. This is a new organization focusing on Research & Develoment (R&D) of Integrated Circuits (ICs) and surrounding electronics using Open-Source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. We aim to work closely with Universities, Research
