Bernstein Named IEEE Fellow
Gary H. Bernstein,
professor and associate chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering,
was named a fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE), effective January 1, 2006, “for contributions to techniques
for fabricating nanoscale devices and circuits.” The world’s
largest technical professional society, the IEEE is composed of more
than 365,000 members who focus on advancing the theory and practice of
electrical, electronics, and computer engineering.
A faculty member since 1988, Bernstein’s interests are in ULSI
fabrication and related areas, including the experimental study of quantum-effect
devices based on semiconductor and metal systems, digital integrated
circuits based on resonant tunneling devices, which have been demonstrated
to operate at speeds greater than 10 Ghz, and the reliability of deep
submicron metal interconnects for future ULSI applications.
A member of IEEE, the American Society for Engineering Education, and
the American Vacuum Society, Bernstein serves as chair of the technical
committee on nanofabrication for the IEEE Nanotechnology Council. He
was named a National Science Foundation White House Presidential Faculty
Fellow in 1992 and was listed among the top 100 leaders in nanotechnology
by D&A Hi-Tech Information and in Who’s Who in Engineering
Education in 2002.
Bernstein joins a number of other current engineering faculty who also
hold the rank of IEEE fellow, including: Panos Antsaklis, the
H.C. and E.A. Brosey Professor of Electrical Engineering; Peter
Bauer, professor of electrical engineering; Kevin Bowyer, professor
and department chair of computer science and engineering; Oliver
Collins, professor of electrical engineering; Daniel
J. Costello Jr., the Bettex Professor of Electrical Engineering; Thomas
Fuja, professor of electrical engineering; Yih-Fang
Huang, professor and department chair of electrical engineering; Peter
M. Kogge, the Ted H. McCourtney Professor of Computer Science
and Engineering and Associate Dean for Research; Ruey-Wen Liu, professor
emeritus of electrical engineering; James L. Merz, the
Frank M. Freimann of Electrical Engineering; Anthony Michel, dean
emeritus of the College of Engineering; Wolfgang Porod, the
Frank M. Freimann Professor and Director of the Center for Nano Science
and Technology; Michael Sain, the Frank M. Freimann
Professor of Electrical Engineering; and Alan Seabaugh, professor
of electrical engineering.
