Invited to Steering Committee of ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI (GLSVLSI)

I am honored to be ranked among the top 30 scientists in the field of "Computer Hardware & Architecture" worldwide, within a single calendar year. Delighted to have received two IEEE Awards: IEEE-CS Distinguished Contributor Recognition Award, and IEEE-CS TCVLSI Mid-Career Research Achievement Award.

Dr. Himanshu Thapliyal is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA. He received a PhD degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of South Florida, Tampa, in 2011 where he received the ‘Distinguished Graduate Achievement Award’. From 2012-14, he worked as a designer of processor test solutions at Qualcomm, where he received the Qualcomm QualStar Award for contributions to memory built-in self-test. He joined as an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA in 2014 where he got promoted to Associate Professor in 2020.  He has been ranked in the top 30 among scientists throughout the world in the field of ‘Computer Hardware and Architecture’ for the calendar Year 2022. He is the recipient of the 2019 NSF CAREER award and the 2020 IEEE-CS TCVLSI Mid-Career Research Achievement Award.  In March 2022, he is selected to the Inaugural Class of IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Contributors that recognizes his distinguished contributions to the society and the profession.  

He has authored over 200 publications including more than 70 journal articles with over 6500 citations (h-index of 49). He received the Best Poster/LBR Award at the 2023 ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI (GLSVLSI). He has received Best Paper awards at the 2021 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), 2020 IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT), 2017 Cyber and Information Security Research Conference (CISR), and 2012 IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI). He is the steering committee vice-chair of the IEEE Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems. He served as the General Chair of the 2023 ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI (GLSVLSI), the 2023 IEEE Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems (iSES), and the 2020 IEEE Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems (iSES). He has served as the Program Chair of the 2022 ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI (GLSVLSI), the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), the 2019 IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI), and 2018 IEEE Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems (iSES). He co-founded the IEEE International Workshop on Quantum Computing: Circuits Systems Automation and Applications (QC-CSAA). He is serving as the Section Editor of the Springer Nature Computer Science and is leading two sections: (i) Quantum Computing and Emerging Technologies, and (ii) Emerging Trends in Sensors, IoT and Smart Systems. He served as the Senior Associate Editor of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine. He is currently serving as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, the IEEE Internet of Things Journal, and the editorial board member of the Microelectronics Journal. His research interests include hardware security of IoT and vehicles, the circuit design of emerging technologies including quantum computing, and smart healthcare.
