Abstract :
The CAD group at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, has always been a special place. It has an incredible reach into industry, both for recruiting and for partnerships and collaboration on research. My years at UC Berkeley working on SPICE were a unique experience. Both Richard Newton and Donald Pederson were wonderful people and great to work for. Along with Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, they maintained a very strong sense of community among their students, with everyone helping everyone else in a team effort. Very few groups I´ve worked with in industry have shown as much of a sense of teamwork and camaraderie as the UC Berkeley CAD group.
