Στα πλαίσια του μαθήματος "Space Software" (καθ. Χρήστος Τσίγκανος), θα πραγματοποιηθεί προσκεκλημένη διάλεξη του Δρ. Γιώργου Τσιλιγιάννη (Think Silicon) την Παρασκευή 3 Νοεμβρίου 15:00 στην Αίθουσα Ζ, Τμήμα Πληροφορικής και Τηλεπικοινωνιών. H διάλεξη θα είναι στα ελληνικά.

Radiation Effects to Electronics: An Overview

In this talk, Dr. Georgios Tsiligiannis will present an overview of challenges encountered when building systems meant to operate under ionizing radiation. More specifically, he will be presenting an overview of Single Events and Cumulative Effects to electronics, the different radiation environments encountered in various applications, and the fundamentals of Radiation Hardness Assurance. He will also share his career path and experiences as a Radiation Effects and Digital Design Engineer.

Georgios Tsiligiannis received his Electronics and Computer Engineering Degree at the Technical University of Crete in 2008. He then continued with his studies in Grenoble, France pursuing a Master’s degree, after which he joined the LIRMM laboratory in Montpellier, France.

During his PhD, Dr Tsiligiannis studied the effects of ionizing radiation to memory devices developing methodologies for their dynamic testing. Afterwards, he joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and subsequently CERN: initially as a Project Associate and then as a Senior Fellow to contribute to the Radiation to Electronics Project (R2E) and study the effects of radiation to electronics in complex digital devices. In 2019 he joined the IES laboratory in Montpellier, France, to contribute to a joint project with industry to develop radiation tolerant robots in the context of Nuclear Decommissioning. In 2020, Dr Tsiligiannis moved to Athens where he worked initially for u-blox as a Digital IC Design Engineer and then at Think Silicon, an Applied Materials Company as a Senior Digital IC Design Engineer. He is currently contributing to the development of ultra-low power GPUs.
