Officers - 2005

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. 

DON McGRATH - Vice 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.

TIN TIN WEE - Secretary / Webmaster, IEEE Senior Member

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 low-jitter 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 low-jitter embedded SerDes I/O applications.  He holds four patents in areas of disk drive and IC design, with several pending.
