Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTomasz Hemperek is a lead ASIC engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing mixed-signal and pixel-detector ASICs for high-energy physics and industrial imaging, currently leading ASIC efforts at DECTRIS in Switzerland. He combines deep device-physics insight from a PhD in experimental particle physics with practical system-level integration, having driven pixel-detector ASICs for ATLAS and CMS at CERN’s LHC. Tomasz is equally fluent in verification and tooling, contributing as a long-time cocotb maintainer and QA/test automation engineer to improve Python-based RTL verification and CI integration. His background spans analog IC design, FPGA/firmware, and data analysis, enabling cross-disciplinary deliveries from transistor to system. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous, reproducible designs and for bridging academic-grade innovation with production-ready engineering.

cocotb: Python-based chip (RTL) verification
Role in this project:
QA Engineer / Test Automation Engineer
QA Engineer / Test Automation EngineerContributions:1 release, 193 reviews, 132 commits in 8 years
Contributions summary:Tomasz primarily contributed to improving the testing infrastructure for the cocotb project. Their work included adding integration with Travis CI for automated testing, fixing Python 3 compatibility issues in testing scripts, and adding support for CVC simulator. The user also addressed a bug in the size discovery of the BinaryValue class, making the code more robust, and they added a test verifying type recognition in Verilog code. Furthermore, they implemented a feature to specify the results file path, which added flexibility in results reporting.
