Rassul Bairamkulov was born in August 1994 in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. He received a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree from Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan in 2016, and a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York in 2018. In the summers of 2018 and 2020, he interned with the Power Design team at Qualcomm Inc. in San Diego, California. He is currently completing the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester under the supervision of Prof. Eby G. Friedman. His current research interests include graph theory, physical design of integrated circuits, and electronic design automation of conventional and emerging VLSI technologies.

Eby G. Friedman received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California at Irvine, Irvine, California. He was with Hughes Aircraft Company in southern California from 1979 to 1991, rising to Manager of the Signal Processing Design and Test Department, where he was responsible for the design and test of high performance digital and analog ICs. He has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Rochester in Rochester, New York since 1991, where he is a Distinguished Professor and the Director of the High Performance VLSI/IC Design and Analysis Laboratory. He is also a Visiting Professor with the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. He has authored almost 600 articles and book chapters and authored or edited 20 books in the fields of high speed and low power CMOS design techniques, 3-D design methodologies, high speed interconnect, superconductive circuits, and the theory and application of synchronous clock and power distribution networks, and he holds 24 patents.
