Eric Dubberstein Selected as DAC 2026 Young Fellow

 

We are pleased to share that Eric Dubberstein, a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, has been selected as a Young Fellow for the 63rd Design Automation Conference (DAC), to be held in Long Beach, California in July 2026.

The DAC Young Fellows Program recognizes early-stage graduate students with strong potential in electronic design automation, computer architecture, and AI hardware. This year’s program received a record number of applications, with 388 applicants worldwide.

As a DAC Young Fellow, Eric will receive full conference registration and travel support, and will participate in a week-long program that includes technical sessions, hands-on labs, and a poster presentation. The program provides opportunities to engage with researchers and engineers across academia and industry in areas spanning EDA, accelerator design, and system architecture.

Eric’s research focuses on technology–architecture co-design and design automation for machine learning accelerators, including work on Hardware-Aware MLIR-based compilation, Design-Space Exploration, and physically grounded architectural modeling.

Congratulations to Eric on this recognition.
