About Us
Semiwise is aiming at the development and commercialization of innovative low power CMOS transistor level IP that improves performance and variability and drastically reduces power in both forthcoming and existing technology generations.
​The IP is ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) applications solving important shortcomings in the current CMOS technology. The IP was initially generated within GSS. It currently consists of 8 granted patents and 6 patents at different stages of prosecution. The generation of the IP was facilitated by a service agreement with the Silicon Valley company Nif/T, LLC which developed and prosecuted the patents
Meet our team
Dr. Fikru Adamu-Lema
Professor Steve Beaumont
Professor Asen Asenov
The founder, CEO and director of Semiwise Professor Asenov, has significant business experience. Professor Asenov was the architect and the CEO of the GoldStandard Simulations (GSS) business vision. Without any venture capital GSS grew to be the market leader in simulation of statistical variability and Design Technology Co-Optimisation in year 5 and was acquired by Synopsys in year 6. On exit, GSS returned high value to its shareholders. Professor Asenov is currently the director of two other start-ups, Surecore and Ngenics.
The second Semiwise director and Chairman of Semiwise Professor Beaumont was also a Director and Chairman of GSS and made significant contributions to GSS’s success. He is also the director of Kelvin Nanotechnology, SawDx and Anacail. Professor Beaumont has served as a Vice-Principal for Research and Enterprise at the University of Glasgow from 1 January 2005 to 1 August 2014.
Dr. Adamu-Lema is a COO and Chief Modeling and Simulation officer at Semiwise. He has more than 15 years of semiconductor device modeling and simulation experience in a research environment. His area of expertise include statistical simulation analysis, which is related to variability and reliability in advanced nano-scale devices, and statistical compact model. He has been involved with numerous research projects as a project co-ordinator and on different levels of collaborative tasks.
