Victor Zhirnov is Chief Scientist at the Semiconductor Research Corporation. He is responsible for envisioning new long-term research directions in semiconductor information and communication technologies for industry and academia. His semiconductor experience spans over 30 years in the areas of materials, processes, device physics and fundamental limits. Victor served as the Chair for the Emerging Research Device (ERD) Working Group for the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) and for the 2030 Decadal Plan for Semiconductors. Currently, he is Chair of the Microelectronics and Advanced Packaging Technologies Roadmap. Victor received the M.S. in applied physics from the Ural Polytechnic Institute, Yekaterinburg, Russia, and the Ph.D. in solid state electronics and microelectronics from the Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow, in 1989 and 1992, respectively.

Dr. Cavin received his BSEE (1961) and MSEE (1962) from Mississippi State University and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Auburn University in 1968. He served as a Senior Engineer at the Martin-Marietta Company in Orlando, Florida, from 1962 to 1965. While he was at Martin, Dr. Cavin was responsible for the design and manufacture of tactical missile guidance and control systems.

After taking his Ph.D., Dr. Cavin joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University where he obtained the rank of Full Professor and also served the department as Assistant Head for Research.

In 1983, he joined the Semiconductor Research Corporation as Director of Design Sciences research programs until 1989. He became Head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University from 1989 - 1994 and was Dean of Engineering at North Carolina State University from 1994 - 1995. He was the Semiconductor Research Corporation Vice President for Research Operations from 1996 to 2007 and SRC Chief Scientist from 2007 to 2012. Dr. Cavin retired in 2012 and has remained engaged as a consultant and advisor in the semiconductor and signal processing sectors.

His technical interests span VLSI design, advanced information processing technologies, semiconductor device and technology limits, control and signal processing theories, and engineering education. He has authored or co-authored over 100 refereed technical papers and contributions to books. Dr. Cavin is a Life Fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and has participated actively in a wide variety of society programs. He has served as a consultant to several government, industrial, and academic institutions.
