Character introduction
André Ivanov is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He served as Head of the UBC Department of ECE from 2008 to 2018. He obtained his PhD in 1989 from McGill University. He has published widely, and is an inventor of several patents. Dr. Ivanov has authored and co-authored over 250 articles in international conference proceedings and journals. He has been awarded four US patents and has consulted for several multinational companies. His research work and interests have touched upon many aspects of design, validation, test, and reliability of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. As Head of ECE at UBC, Dr. Ivanov led the department in reshaping its curriculum to meet student and industry needs and interests. The reformed curriculum focuses on learning activities that maximize student performance and experience. The curriculum includes several points of active engagement with industry or other community partners. Dr. Ivanov has also led the department into new outreach and community building activities, as well as industry partnership developments and renewals, including initiatives that use UBC campus as a “living lab”. He has served on multiple departmental, faculty and university committees since joining UBC in 1989.
Over the years, Dr. Ivanov has served on steering, program, and/or organization committees of several international events sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. He chaired the IEEE Computer Society Test Technology Council (TTTC) for the term 2004-2007. He has served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society and on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Technology Management Council. He was Technical Program Chair of the VLSI Test Symposium (VTS) in 2001 and 2002 and the General Chair of VTS in 2003 and 2004. In 2004, Dr. Ivanov founded the 1st IEEE International GHz/Gbps Test Workshop. He has served as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on CAD, and for the IEEE Design and Test of Computers Magazine, and for the Journal of Electronic Test: Theory and Applications (JETTA). He served as the Editor in Chief of IEEE Design and Test from 2003 to 2017.
He is a Golden Core Member of the Computer Society, a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, and a Professional Engineer of British Columbia.
In 2001, Dr. Ivanov co-founded Vector 12, a semiconductor IP company. In 1995/96, he spent a sabbatical at PMC-Sierra and has held invited professor positions at the University of Montpellier II, the University of Bordeaux I, and Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia.

Topic: On Approaches for Addressing Reliability and Safety Issues in the Internet of Things
Abstract The internet of things brings about a multitude of challenging technical issues. The resolution of the latter issues requires advanced innovative scientific and engineering solutions at different levels of abstraction, from low level device physics to high level system software. Transistor reliability and aging issues are becoming particularly significant in current and future semiconductor fabrication technologies. This report will highlight recent work that applies molecular dynamics simulation techniques to model hydrogen transport mechanisms at the source of transistor aging mechanisms in state of the art semiconductor fabrication technologies. This report will also highlight recent work focused at the software level of abstraction of internet of things. In particular, this report will highlight some recent work on access protocols for highly dynamic internet of things systems where system safety and robustness against cyber attacks is a prime requirement.
