Limor Fix is an Israeli electronic design automation engineer and executive, senior principal engineer and director of academic programs and research at Intel. Her research interests include formal verification languages. [1][2]

She has Ph.D in computer science from Technion. After that she did post-doc research at the Cornell University. In 1994 she joined Intel in Israel. [2] Limor led the development of a new formal specification language, ForSpec, later donated by Intel to Accellera/IEEE. ForSpec influenced the IEEE 1850-Property Specification Language standard.[2]

She is among the authors of the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits handbook.[2]

Awards and recognition

[edit]
  • 2011: Marie Pistilli Award[1] "... recognizes Dr. Fix's lengthy set of contributions to EDA, including the development of the ForSpec formal specification language, donated by Intel to Accellera and an important factor in the IEEE-1850 standard, and her work in the areas of SAT solvers and model checking for both hardware and distributed software systems".[3]
