Inga Abel receives a Bavarian VDE Award 2019 for her Master's Thesis on "Automatic Sizing of Analog Operational Amplifiers Using Constraint Programming". The merit of the work lies in unprecedentd automation of the sizing process while complete reproduction of the designer's requirement on the sizing process.

In the meantime, a paper on follow-up research work in this area has also been published: Inga Abel, Maximilian Neuner, Helmut Graeb, Constraint-Programmed Initial Sizing of Analog Operational Amplifiers, IEEE Int. Conf. on Computer Design (ICCD), 2019.

VDE is the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies, one of the largest technical and scientific associations in Europe with more than 34,000 members.
