Research
Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska's research interests are in the
area of computer-aided design with an emphasis on layout and logic synthesis of
VLSI circuits and systems. Her earlier works have dealt with simulation of
nonlinear circuits and timing verification. Together with colleagues from the
Greenscale Center for Energy-Efficient Computing, Marek-Sadowska works in the
area of emerging technologies for energy-proportional computation, where energy
efficiency remains high regardless of the load on a server. In this capacity,
she develops circuit techniques to reduce energy consumption. Current projects
include power verification and optimal designs for power-gating: an efficient
technique for lowering power consumption and control leakage currents.
Biography
Prior to joining UC Santa Barbara, Malgorzata
Marek-Sadowska was an Assistant Professor at the
Institute of Electron Technology at the Technical University of Warsaw
(1976-1982). During that time, she also was invited to be a Visiting Professor
in the Electrical Engineering Department at UC Berkeley (1979-1980). In 1979, she
became a Research Engineer at the Electronics Research Laboratory and continued
there until 1990, when she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at UCSB as a Professor. Marek-Sadowska has been a member of
numerous technical committees, including the Technical Committee of the
International Conference on Computer Aided Design, the Technical Committee of
the Design Automation Conference, and the Technical Committee International
Workshop on Placement and Routing. She served as Associate Editor (1989-1993)
and Editor-in-Chief (1993-1995) of the IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided
Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems. She has been Associate Editor for
the Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers since 1990, and serves as a
reviewer for numerous technical journals.
