Costas J. Spanos is the Director of the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) at UC Berkeley. He is also the CEO of the Berkeley Educational Alliance for Research in Singapore (BEARS) and the Andrew S. Grove Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at UC Berkeley. [1] [2] [3]
Spanos received his Electrical Engineering Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens in 1980 and his M.S. (1981) and Ph.D. (1985) degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. From 1985 to 1988 he worked in the advanced Computer-Aided Design group of Digital Equipment Corporation. In 1988 he became a member of the faculty in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the UC Berkeley. From 1994 to 2000 he was the Director of the Berkeley Microfabrication Laboratory. During 2004 to 2005 he acted as the Director of the Electronics Research Laboratory, while from 2004 to 2008 he was the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering. He continued as the Associate Chair for the EECS Department from 2008 to 2010 and as the Chair of the Department from 2010 to 2012. His experience in AI, IoT, Data Analytics, Modeling and Machine Learning with broad applications in semiconductor technologies and cyber-physical systems led him to produce more than 300 publications and 15 patents. He is also the co-author of a textbook on semiconductor manufacturing. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
An integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon. Large numbers of miniaturized transistors and other electronic components are integrated together on the chip. This results in circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller, faster, and less expensive than those constructed of discrete components, allowing a large transistor count.
Eli Yablonovitch is an American physicist and engineer who, along with Sajeev John, founded the field of photonic crystals in 1987. He and his team were the first to create a 3-dimensional structure that exhibited a full photonic bandgap, which has been named Yablonovite. In addition to pioneering photonic crystals, he was the first to recognize that a strained quantum-well laser has a significantly reduced threshold current compared to its unstrained counterpart. This is now employed in the majority of semiconductor lasers fabricated throughout the world. His seminal paper reporting inhibited spontaneous emission in photonic crystals is among the most highly cited papers in physics and engineering.
Kenneth Yigael Goldberg is an American artist, writer, inventor, and researcher in the field of robotics and automation.
