Drop-in session with Fidus Microsystems engineers Victor Dumitriu and Matt Fransham | ME 4166, March 25, 2026.

It was a great pleased to host Victor Dumitriu and Matt Fransham from Fidus Microsystems for the second drop-in session of our Winter 2026 industry engagement series.

The session brought together students for an open, informal discussion with two experienced FPGA engineers. Students had the opportunity to present their ongoing projects and receive direct feedback, while Victor and Matt shared their professional insights on industry workflows, design standards, and what it means to work at a high-caliber FPGA design services company.

The conversation was candid, energetic, and highly valued by all who attended — a testament to the kind of meaningful exchange that bridges the gap between academic research and professional engineering practice.

We extend our sincere thanks to Victor Dumitriu, Matt Fransham, and the entire Fidus Microsystems team for their continued generosity and commitment to supporting the next generation of FPGA engineers at Carleton.


This session is part of an ongoing collaboration with Fidus Microsystems, bringing industry professionals to campus to engage directly with our team throughout the 2026 winter term. More sessions are planned — stay tuned!
