DON McGRATH - Chair,
IEEE Senior Member
|
|
Don McGrath received his B.S.E.E. from Rochester Institute
of Technology, Rochester, NY, in 1986, his M.S.E.E. from Purdue University,
Lafayette, IN, in 1988, and his Ph.D.E.E. from Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, Troy, NY, in 1998. His doctoral dissertation focused on
genetic algorithms for S-D
modulator design.
From 1988 to 2001, Dr. McGrath worked
at the General Electric Corporate R&D Center in Schenectady, NY, as a
mixed analog-digital designer. While at General Electric, his focus
was on the design of S-D
modulator analog-to-digital converters,
and their application to industrial and medical systems. In 2001, Dr. McGrath joined LSI Logic in Fort Collins, CO,
as Manager of Signal Processing Design. Since joining LSI Logic, his
focus has been on continuous-time filters and high-speed interface design.

ALVIN LOKE - Vice Chair,
IEEE Senior Member
|
|
Alvin Loke received his
B.A.Sc. (Eng. Physics) degree with highest honors from the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, Canada, in 1992, and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D.E.E. degrees from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, in 1994 and
1999 respectively. He was recipient of the Canadian NSERC 1967 Graduate
Scholarship. While at Stanford, his research focused on
interconnect process integration issues with copper and low-K polymer
dielectrics. Dr. Loke is author/co-author in over 20 technical
publications, and one patent with several pending. He held internships at Texas
Instruments ( Dallas, TX), Motorola ( Austin, TX), and at Sumitomo
Electric Industries (Osaka, Japan). In 1998, he joined Hewlett-Packard Laboratories,
Palo Alto, CA where he was involved in process integration of deep
submicron ferroelectric memory for embedded applications.

In
1999, when Agilent Technologies was spun off from Hewlett-Packard, he took a
two-year assignment in Chartered Silicon Partners, Singapore, as Senior
Process Integration Engineer engaged in copper and local interconnect module integration. In 2001, he
transferred to Fort Collins, CO
where he is presently Design Engineer developing 90nm CMOS mixed-signal phase-locked
loop circuits for embedded SerDes I/O and ASIC core clocking applications.

TIN TIN WEE -
Secretary / Webmaster
|
|
Tin Tin Wee received her B. Tech. (Electronics Eng.)
from the National University of Singapore, Singapore, in 1999. Prior
to receiving her B. Tech., she was an Associate Engineer at International
Video Products, Singapore, where she involved in RF test, measurement, and
failure analysis of consumer video electronics. In 1996, she joined Chartered Semiconductor
Manufacturing, Singapore, as Process Integration Engineer where she was
engaged in multiple aspects of 0.25um, 0.18um, and 0.15um technology
development and transfer. Activities included SRAM development,
yield enhancement, and most recently, copper and local interconnect module
integration. Ms. Wee returned to the National University of
Singapore to study circuits and systems, and completed her M.S.E.E. degree
in 2001.
|
She now resides in Fort Collins, CO, as Design Engineer at Agilent
Technologies where she is involved in bench test, characterization, and
debug of 130nm and 90nm CMOS ASIC's with embedded SerDes and core clocking
PLL's. She hold two patents.

BOB BARNES - Treasurer,
IEEE Senior Member
|
|
Bob Barnes received his B.S.E.E. degree (summa cum laude) from Washington State University, Pullman,
WA, in 1980, and the M.S.E.E. degree from Stanford
University, Stanford, CA, in 1987. Prior to his undergraduate
studies, he served in the United States Air Force as an Electronics
Technician repairing and maintaining ground-based navigation
transmitters. He joined Hewlett-Packard's Disk Memory Division, Boise,
ID, in 1980 where he worked on disk drive head/servo characterization, and
advanced read channel designs. In 1996, he joined Hewlett-Packard's
(now Agilent Technologies') integrated circuits design center in Fort
Collins, CO where he is currently a Senior Design Engineer developing 90nm
CMOS mixed-signal phase-locked loop architectures and circuits for embedded SerDes I/O
applications. He holds four patents in areas of disk drive and IC
design, with several pending.
