Darrell Teegarden
Mr. Darrell Teegarden joined the University of Maryland Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) in July 2020 as a visiting researcher. His research interests include cloud software, analog and mixed-signal circuit design, simulation, cyber-physical modeling, distributed systems, secure design flows, and supply chain management. He is also interested in the facilitation of startup ecosystems and business aspects of technology.
Teegarden came to UMD from Mentor, a Siemens Business where from 2010 until 2018 he was a Director in the New Ventures unit, responsible for identifying and developing technology and business opportunities in systems-oriented markets. His primary focus was managing the development, marketing, and business creation of the SystemVision analog, mixed-signal, and multi-discipline modeling and simulation platform. He led the effort to deliver Mentor’s first cloud-native software solution, systemvision.com. He is the co-author of a popular book, The System Designer's Guide to VHDL-AMS: Analog, Mixed-Signal, and Mixed-Technology Modeling.
Prior to joining Mentor, he was an early employee of Analogy, Inc., an electronic design automation software startup ultimately acquired by Synopsys. At Analogy, he was responsible for model development for the Saber simulator and for products related to robust system design via simulation. Prior to that, he developed TECAP, one of Hewlett Packard’s earliest software-only products, focused on extracting SPICE model parameters from wafer measurements.
Teegarden received his Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State University and Master of Science degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University. He holds four patents and enjoys mentoring high school students in robotics and STEM.
