Analog circuit design, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), circuit simulation (SPICE), semiconductor device modeling, expert witness in patent litigation and trade secret cases.

Dr. Nagel has worked in the integrated circuit industry for more than 35 years and is an IEEE Fellow. While earning his BS, MS, and PhD degrees at the University of California, he developed the SPICE circuit simulation program and launched a cottage industry of SPICE simulation tools.

Nagel then began a 20 year career at Bell Laboratories, which included:

• developing the ADVICE circuit simulation program
• managing the development of process and device simulation tools
• participating in the development of the Kull-Nagel bipolar model
• designing analog circuits for submicron NMOS processes
• working on the assertion of patents and negotiation of patent licenses in the AT&T Intellectual Property Division
• serving as project manager in the development of the Celerity circuit simulation program.

Nagel joined Anadigics, Inc. in 1995, where he worked on:

• supporting simulation of RF integrated circuits
• modeling and characterization of GaAs MESFET device processes
• importing silicon CMOS design tools and foundry support.

In 1998, Nagel founded his own company, Omega Enterprises Consulting, which offers consulting services in analog and RF integrated circuit design, device modeling, circuit simulation, and expert witness work in patent and trade secret litigation.

Larry was CNSV Chair in 2010-2011, and he is currently a CNSV Director.
