Officers - 2012


BRUCE DOYLE - Chair, IEEE Senior Member
Bruce Doyle (M’84-SM'12) received the BSEE degree from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada in 1984. Since 1984, he has been involved in the design of memories, graphics processors, analog circuits, mixed-signal IC’s, high-performance microprocessors, and leading edge IO technologies. From 2002 to 2006, he worked for Hewlett-Packard / Intel in Fort Collins, CO, on the Itanium family of high-performance microprocessors as a physical designer in high-speed I/Os, clocking, and thermal systems. Currently, he is a Fellow at Advanced Micro Devices in the Mile High Design Center, Fort Collins, CO, where he is focused on developing next generation I/O technology focused on lower power I/Os and optical interconnect systems. His expertise includes I/O design, high-speed circuit design, analog circuit design, and mixed-signal verification.
He holds 12 US patents and has published 8 technical papers.  He currently serves as Chair of the Fort Collins IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society technical chapter and as a technical reviewer of IEEE journals such as the Journal of Solid-State Circuits.

ALVIN LOKE - Vice Chair / Webmaster, IEEE Senior Member

Alvin Loke (S'89-M'99-SM'04) received the BASc (Eng. Physics) degree with highest honors from the University of British Columbia in 1992, and the MSEE and PhDEE degrees from Stanford University in 1994 and 1999 respectively.  He was recipient of the UBC Chancellor Entrance and Canadian NSERC 1967 Graduate Scholarships.  While at Stanford, his research focused on copper interconnects with low-K polymer dielectric.  He has interned at Texas Instruments, Motorola, and at Sumitomo Electric Industries.  From 1998 to 2001, he worked on CMOS technology integration at HP Labs, Palo Alto, CA and then at Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Singapore as an Agilent assignee.  In 2001, he transferred to Fort Collins, CO, where he designed CMOS phase-locked loop circuits for low-jitter embedded SerDes I/O and ASIC core clocking.

In 2006, he joined Advanced Micro Devices where he is currently a Principal Member of Technical Staff designing high-speed links and addressing analog/mixed-signal concerns for next generation CMOS.  Dr. Loke has authored 38 publications and holds 12 US patents.  He presently serves on the CICC technical program committee, SSCS Chapters committee, and ECE Department Industrial Advisory Board at Colorado State University. He is presently the SSCS Webinar Taskforce Chair, a Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, and a SSCS Distinguished Lecturer.

BOB BARNES - Treasurer, IEEE Senior Member
Bob Barnes (S'77-M'81-SM'05) received his BSEE degree (summa cum laude) from Washington State University, Pullman, WA, in 1980, and the MSEE 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 Avago Technologies') integrated circuits design center in Fort Collins, CO where he is currently a Design Engineer developing 40nm and 28nm CMOS mixed-signal phase-locked loop and CDR architectures and circuits for low-jitter embedded SerDes I/O applications.  He holds eight US patents in areas of disk drive and IC design, and has authored two papers.

STEVE MARTIN - Secretary, IEEE Member

Steve Martin (S’99-M’05) received a BSEE with highest honors from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, in 1999 and MSEE and PhDEE from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, in 2002 and 2005, respectively.  He is a recipient of a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.  His research focused on CMOS-integrated chemical sensors for trace environmental detection and low-power, low-noise analog and digital circuits.  Dr. Martin has held positions at Accuri Instruments where he developed a low-noise analog front end for a novel flow cytometer, at Sonetics Ultrasound where he designed analog integrated electronics for a CMUT array, and at Intel Corp. where he designed a 6Gb/s line driver in 65nm CMOS.  He is currently with Avago Technologies, Fort Collins, CO, where he is a research scientist developing acoustic technologies.  Dr. Martin has over a dozen technical publications, has served as a reviewer for several SBIR programs, and has co-authored a book chapter on CMOS-integrated chemical sensors.


SCOTT EVANS - Educational Activities, IEEE Member

Scott Evans (M’09) received his BSEE from the University of Iowa and his MBA from Colorado State University. He has had a broad career in technology and management, with over 20 years of P/L responsibility. He has owned and operated a computer peripheral manufacturing company, a shrink-wrap software company, and a successful technical marketing consulting practice. He has also done extensive work in the merger and acquisition businesses a sell-side advisor and broker in mid-market technology transactions. At present, Mr. Evans is with Arrow Electronics as a Field Applications Engineer. He designs mixed-signal embedded designs using the Cypress PSoC. His interests include RTOS technology, quality software development, mixed-signal design (including especially DS modulators) and advanced mathematics.

He has made one patent application (later withdrawn for strategic reasons) based on his design of a third-generation current-feedback op amp topology which he developed at Comlinear Corporation (now TI). Mr. Evans is a member of Eta Kappa Nu.
