Ilse Clara Franziska Ipsen is a German-American mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at North Carolina State University. She was formerly associate director of the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute, a joint venture of North Carolina State and other nearby universities..

Education and career

Ipsen earned a diploma from the Kaiserslautern University of Technology in 1977, and completed her doctorate from the Pennsylvania State University in 1983 under the supervision of Don Heller. Her dissertation was ''Systolic Arrays for VLSI'' and concerned

Very Large Scale Integration Very large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) ...
