Stelios Diamantidis

Stelios has been leading Synopsys’ AI technology strategy since the inception of the program in 2017. He is currently the head of the central Generative AI Center of Excellence, where he applies latest foundation model technologies to address systemic complexity in the design and manufacturing of integrated systems. In 2020, Stelios launched DSO.ai™, the world’s first autonomous AI application for chip design. A truly transformative technology, DSO.ai has been adopted by 9 of the top-10 semiconductor companies worldwide and was followed by Synopsys.ai, the world’s first AI-driven full-stack EDA suite. Stelios has more than 20 years of experience in systems, semiconductors, and EDA software. A passionate technologist, he has pioneered several EDA applications including design verification IP (2001), constrained-random metric-driven verification (2003), design-for-test (DFT) verification (2005), and at-speed post-silicon validation (2007). Stelios has also led several industry standards including IEEE1647 (vice chair, Standard for Functional Verification Language) and IEEE1687 (founding member, Standard for Access and Control of Instrumentation). Stelios has published numerous papers and articles on the design and test of semiconductors and routinely presents at industry conferences and events. He is a Member of the IEEE and holds an M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University.
