This presentati on\ndiscusses what it takes to package your expertise as reusable\,\nprodu ction-quality IP: designing for flexibility across applications\,\nbuildin g comprehensive verification and documentation\, and maintaining\nthe secu rity and quality standards that customers expect. Whether\nyou're interest ed in commercializing your research or simply\nunderstanding how your work might be integrated into real-world\ndesigns\, we'll walk through the pra ctical realities of semiconductor\nIP development and the practices that s eparate research prototypes\nfrom professional products.\n\nBIO:\n\nMike B orza is an industry consultant specializing in business and\ntechnical asp ects of security for integrated circuits. From 2015\nthrough January 2026\ , he was Synopsys Scientist working broadly on\nsecurity and security inte llectual property for integrated circuits\nand systems at Synopsys\, Inc. He has more than 25 years of leadership\nand technology experience in secu rity and safety critical systems\nengineering. In 2002\, he co-founded and was CTO of Elliptic\nTechnologies\, acquired by Synopsys in 2015.  His p revious experience\nincludes Chrysalis-ITS (now Thales)\, Ankari (HID Glob al)\, and Alcatel\nTransport Automation (Thales Transport). He holds more than 20 US\npatents. He has been an active contributor to the security tas k group\nof IEEE 802.1\, and was an editor of the 802.1 AR secure device\n identifier standard. He was vice-chair of the Accellera IP Security\nAssur ance standard and a member of the IEEE P3164 Security Annotation\nfor Elec tronic Design Integration working group. He was a Principal\nInvestigator in the DARPA Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon\nprogram.\n\n [The headshot of Mike Bora] DTSTAMP:20260606T064944Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6a23c308b75a2 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250709T120000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250709T125000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/cryptoworks/events/introduction-venture-capital LOCATION:QNC - Quantum Nano Centre 200 University Avenue West QNC 1201 Wate rloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada SUMMARY:Introduction to venture capital CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Lunch and learn session with Dr. Chenxi Wang on Venture Capital in\nQNC1201.
