Prof. David Pan, PhD student Subhendu Roy, and their Mentor Graphics collaborators have received the Best Paper Award at the 23rd ACM International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD). The award recognizes David's paper "Clock Tree Resynthesis for Multi-corner Multi-mode Timing Closure," which was presented at the meeting last week in Petaluma, California. David's co-authors are Subhendu Roy, Pavlos M. Mattheakis and  Laurent Masse-Navette.
