Reliability of Nanoscale Circuits and Systems

Editor of the IEICE ELEX. Dr. Schmid is also teaching at the Microengineeringand Electrical Engineering Departments/Sections of EPFL.Yusuf Leblebici received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineeringfrom Istanbul Technical University, in 1984 and in 1986, respectively, andhis Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the Universityof Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 1990. Between 1991 and 2001,he worked as a faculty member at UIUC, at Istanbul Technical University,and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). In 2000-2001, he also servedas the Microelectronics Program Coordinator at Sabanci University.Since 2002, Dr. Leblebici has been a Chair Professor at the Swiss FederalInstitute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), and director of MicroelectronicSystems Laboratory. His research interests include design of high-speedCMOS digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits, computer-aided design ofVLSI systems, intelligent sensor interfaces, modeling and simulation of semiconductordevices, and VLSI reliability analysis.He is the coauthor of 4 textbooks, namely, Hot-Carrier Reliability of MOSVLSI Circuits (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993), CMOS Digital IntegratedCircuits: Analysis and Design (McGraw Hill, 1st Edition 1996, 2nd Edition1998, 3rd Edition 2002), CMOS Multichannel Single-Chip Receivers forMulti-Gigabit Optical Data Communications (Springer, 2007) and Fundamentalsof High Frequency CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits (CambridgeUniversity Press, 2009), as well as more than 200 articles published in variousjournals and conferences.He has served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits andSystems (II), and IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI)Systems. He has also served as the general co-chair of the 2006 EuropeanSolid-State Circuits Conference, and the 2006 European Solid State DeviceResearch Conference (ESSCIRC/ESSDERC). He is a Fellow of IEEE andhas been elected as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and SystemsSociety for 2010-2011.
