For IEEE Standards Association Board of Governors

Yatin has been a governance volunteer with IEEE SA for the past 17 years and a standards developer in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry for 33+ years. Currently, he serves SA as Chair, Awards Committee, and Chair, FinCom. He served as SA Treasurer and member of IEEE FinCom for three consecutive terms (2015-2020), during which SA made strategic investments in long term initiatives without undue risk. Through SA’s international outreach activities, he initiated and strengthened industry partnerships. Yatin co-founded IEEE Standards University with New Initiatives Committee support and served as Editor-in-Chief for IEEE’s Standards Education eZine (2011-2019). 

Yatin leads designs of complex system-on-chip (SoC) at Capgemini Engineering. He published two Verilog HDL books and 100+ technical papers, tutorials, and articles through conferences and journals. Yatin serves as the board Chair for IEEE-ISTO. 

He was inducted into IEEE-HKN (2014) and received the prestigious Ron Waxman DASC Meritorious Service Award (2016).

Statement

Interoperable solutions built on Technology Standards help improve people’s lives independent of geographical, political, language, and cultural barriers. SA’s operational excellence facilitates a global, open, and transparent environment. We need to keep SA aligned with rapid advances and evolution in technology use, changes in legal and business systems, and our goal of serving broader humanity to maintain this excellence. 

I have worked closely with experienced global volunteers and exceptionally motivated staff. Guiding SA’s financial management as IEEE-SA Treasurer and IEEE-SA FinCom Chair, I ensured SA’s growth through strategic investments in long term initiatives without undue risks. 

As a member of the BoG, I will strive to: 

• Focus standards’ impact on society through initiatives like ethical challenges in AI 
• Foster SA’s flagship Corporate Program in emerging and mature technologies 
• Improve financial sustainability through innovative products and services 

I seek your support to serve the standards community. Thank you.
