Mary Jane Irwin
Mary Jane Irwin is an emerita Evan Pugh Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. She has been on the faculty at Penn State since 1977. She is an international expert in computer architecture. Her research and teaching interests include computer architecture, embedded and mobile computing systems design, power and reliability aware design, and emerging technologies in computing systems.
Irwin was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2003 for contributions to very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) architecture and automated design.
Irwin received her B.S. in mathematics from Memphis State University in 1971, and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois in 1975 and 1977, respectively. Her dissertation research on the topic of computer arithmetic was supervised by Dr. James Robertson.
Irwin joined the faculty of the Pennsylvania State University as an assistant professor in 1977. She was promoted to the rank of full professor in 1989, and retired in 2017.
Irwin has worked in the area of application-specific architectures, including the design, implementation, and field-testing of three different board level designs—the Arithmetic Cube, the MGAP and SPARTA. With her student Robert M. Owens, they developed a suite of architecture, logic and circuit design tools, including ARTIST, PERFLEX, LOGICIAN, and DECOMPOSER.
In late 1993, Irwin worked in the area of resource-constrained systems design, including embedded systems that have limited battery life and limited memory space and sensor network systems with extremely limited resources. With colleagues she developed an architectural level power simulator, SimplePower.
Irwin's recent work is in mixed technology circuits.
On October 1, 2019, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA), and Electronic System Design (ESD) Alliance announced that Irwin would receive the 2019 Phil Kaufman Award—the electronic design automation industry's highest honor—making her the first woman to receive the award. In 2024, she was awarded the Gustav Robert Kirchhoff Award.
