Dr. Daniel B. Limbrick is currently an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T). Dr. Limbrick received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University in May 2007. He received his Masters of Science degree and Doctorate of Philosophy degree in the same field at Vanderbilt University in December 2009 and December 2012 respectively under the advisement of Dr. William H. Robinson. Dr. Limbrick then studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral fellow under the advisement of Dr. Sung Kyu Lim.

As director of the Automated Design for Emerging Process Technologies (ADEPT) laboratory at NC A&T, Dr. Limbrick researches the following questions: (1) how can we make computers more reliable in harsh environments (i.e., radiation hardening, physical attacks) and (2) how can we extend Moore’s law (e.g., 3D IC, quantum computing)? To answer these questions, he interrogates the traditional abstraction layers of integrated circuit design (i.e., functional description, circuit design, physical design) to discover automated design methodologies that are more relevant to these goals. Additionally, Dr. Limbrick develops testbeds for digital systems (e.g., high-performance computing, Internet-ofthings) to predict and solve challenges for future technologies and applications.

Dr. Limbrick has been awarded over $14,000,000 in research grants from the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, Air Force Office of Science and Research, and the Department of Energy. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Department of the Navy, a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
