Nikos Andrikos is a Principal Software Engineer based in Grenoble with two decades of EDA R&D experience and a strong scientific background spanning a PhD in Electronic Engineering and advanced studies in astrophysics and mathematics. He is a technical leader in formal verification, currently driving SLEC R&D at Siemens EDA after architecting assertion- and property-based flows at Synopsys and Mentor Graphics. Equally fluent in RTL and HLS, he pairs hands-on Verilog/SystemVerilog/SystemC design with expert tooling and automation skills in Python, Tcl and C/C++ to deliver end-to-end FPGA and ASIC flows. His work bridges algorithmic research (placement, high-level synthesis, asynchronous design) and industrial tool development, making him comfortable from specification down to physical layout. A seasoned Unix/Linux power user and Debian package maintainer, he often operates as the pragmatic link between academia and product-grade EDA software. Colleagues value him for turning formal methods into usable flows that integrate cleanly with external debug and verification environments.
