NY, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He was an IC design
engineer at National Semiconductor Corp. from 1984 to 1987. His research
interests include analog IC design, circuit simulation and the theory of
nonlinear circuits. He has received the IEEE Guillemin-Cauer Award and the
IEEE Baker Award. He is currently the recipient of a National Young
Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation.

Kenneth Martin, PhD, Univ. of Toronto, 1980. He worked at Bell-Northern
Research, where he did some of the early fundamental work on SC networks;
from 1980 to 1991, he was a professor at UCLA. He is currently the Stanley
Ho Professor of Microelectronics at the University of Toronto. He was a
consultant to many companies on CMOS, BiCMOS and GaAs ICs and on DSP
algorithms. He won the IEEE Outstanding Young Engineer award and ISSCC
Beatrice Winner Best Paper Award. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.

Marcel Pelgrom, PhD, Twente Univ. of Technology, 1988. In 1979 he joined
Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where he
designed digital CCD memories and analog CCD delay lines, and investigated
the matching behavior of MOS devices, digital picture correlators, audio
D/A conversion and various analog circuits. From 1989 to 1996 he was a
team leader for high-speed A/D conversion and related subjects. Since 1996,
Dr. Pelgrom has headed the Analog Integrated Electronics group of Philips
Research Labs.

Behzad Razavi, PhDEE, Stanford University, 1991. He was with AT&T Bell
Labs, Holmdel, NJ, and HP Labs, Palo Alto, CA, and recently joined UCLA as
an associate professor. He is a member of the ISSCC Technical Program
Committee, an Associate Editor of JSSC, and recipient of several awards at
ISSCC and ESSCIRC. He has published two books with IEEE Press.

Received the Technical Achievement Award and the Education Award of the
IEEE CAS Society as well as the IEEE Centennial Medal. He wrote many books
and papers on discrete and integrated circuit design.

Nishath Verghese, Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University, 1995.  Senior Member
of Technical Staff at Cadence Design Systems, San Jose, CA where he is the
principal developer of verification tools for substrate/noise coupling in
analog and mixed-signal ICs.  Dr. Verghese has several publications in the
areas of parasitic crosstalk analysis, layout verification and synthesis.
He is co-author of the book "Simulation Techniques and Solutions for 
Mixed-Signal Coupling in Integrated Circuits," Kluwer, 1995. He has prior
analog/mixed-signal IC design experience having designed several A/D 
converters both in graduate school and at Texas Instruments, Dallas.
