Biography

Stelios has spearheaded Synopsys’ AI technology strategy since the program began in 2017. Currently, he leads the central Generative AI Center of Excellence, leveraging cutting-edge foundation model technologies to tackle systemic complexity in integrated systems design and manufacturing. In 2020, Stelios introduced DSO.ai™, the world's first autonomous AI application for chip design, which has revolutionized the industry. DSO.ai has been adopted by 9 of the top 10 semiconductor companies globally and was followed by Synopsys.ai, the first AI-driven full-stack EDA suite. With over 20 years of experience in systems, semiconductors, and EDA software, Stelios is a passionate technologist who 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). He has also played a significant role in shaping 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 semiconductor design and testing and frequently presents at industry conferences and events. He is a member of IEEE and holds an M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University.
