Eduardo Ortega Bio

Eduardo Ortega received his B.A./B.S. degrees in Integrated Engineering from the University of San Diego (2020). At the University of San Diego Eduardo completed research from Ohio State University’s SAMMS REU program focusing on topology, presented at an international leadership case study competition for work with his Leadership Studies minor, and volunteered on a large-scale interdisciplinary art installation (Unfolding Humanity). Before starting his Ph.D., Eduardo gained 2 years of work experience at Intel and Insulet working on SSD testing and mobile-device medical system validation/verification methodologies, respectively. Eduardo completed 2 years of his Ph.D. work at Duke University before transferring to Arizona State University (ASU) to join the ASU Center for Semiconductor Microelectronics (ACME). At Duke University, Eduardo was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow honorable mention, and Sloan Scholar. Now at ASU, Eduardo is a Fulton Fellow of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering. His research thesis focuses on techniques for scalable resilient computing, i.e., memory security, silicon lifecycle management, and anomaly detection for resource-constrained edge devices. Thus far, his research thesis work has been published papers in the proceedings of IEEE ITC 2023 and IEEE TVLSI 2024. In conjunction, Eduardo is interested in the intersection of ethics/governance and AI technological development. Through this effort, Eduardo published a nominated best paper in the proceedings of IEEE CAI 2023 on AI governance and ethics. In addition, Eduardo has completed internships at Synopsys and Intel throughout his tenure as a Ph.D. student.
