Elmer E. Koch Professor of Engineering Marilyn C. Wolf has been named the 2026–27 editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD).
IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the design, analysis, and use of computer-aided design of integrated circuits and systems. It is published by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation.
“Semiconductors are essential components of the devices and systems that run our world. IEEE Transactions on CAD helps to advance the design automation tools that make modern chip design possible,” Wolf said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the CAD community.”
Wolf will succeed David Atienza of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, who served as editor-in-chief from 2022–2025.
Wolf joined the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2019 as chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and became founding director of the School of Computing in 2021. She was named the director for engineering and technology initiatives in the Office of Research and Innovation in 2023. Prior to her roles at Nebraska, she was Farmer Distinguished Chair and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology, a professor at Princeton University, and a member of the technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Wolf received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Her other research interests include cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, embedded computer vision, and VLSI systems.
Wolf has earned several accolades for her contributions to the computing field, including the Marie R. Pistilli Women in Electronic Design Award, the ACM SIGDA Distinguished Service Award, the IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Graduate Teaching Award, the IEEE Computer Society Goode Memorial Award, the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Education Award, and the American Society for Engineering Education Terman Award. She is also a fellow of ACM and IEEE, and a Golden Core member of IEEE Computer Society.
