Synopsys founder Aart de Geus to receive chip industry’s highest honor
Aart de Geus, Synopsys executive chair and founder, will be the 2024 recipient of SIA’s highest honor, the Robert N. Noyce Award, the SIA said.
In 1999, he created the Synopsys Outreach Foundation, which promotes project-based science and math learning throughout Silicon Valley, in early recognition of the future shortage of engineering workforce in the high-tech industry. De Geus received a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland and a Ph.D. from Southern Methodist University, Dallas. Past winners include Sanjay Mehrotra of Micron Technology (2023), Lip-Bu Tan of Cadence Design Systems (2022), Jensen Huang of Nvidia (2021), Lisa Su of AMD (2020) and many more going back to 1991.
