ARMENIAN SCIENTIST GETS INDUSTRIAL PIONEER AWARD

Yerevan offshoot of Virage Logic Corp. informed that the senior
scientist of the company, specialist of chip testing techniques,
Yervand Zoryan, was awarded the 2005 IEEE Industrial Pioneer Award
at the Design Automation Conference in California last week.

Virage Logic Corp. informed that the award was for his contributions
to design-for-test technology through Built-In Self-Test solutions
and design tools.

Zoryan is a Fellow of the IEEE and an honorary doctor of the Armenian
National Academy of Sciences, is an author of 4 books and is a member
of board of a number of influential companies and unions in the sphere
of high technologies.

In 2003, the Armenian scientist was named by EE Times as one of 13
people “who are influencing the course of semiconductor development
technology and taking it into realms that exceed the bounds set by
the inventors of the transistor more than 50 years ago”.
