Eby G. Friedman is an electrical engineer, and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester. Friedman is also a visiting professor at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. He is a Senior Fulbright Fellow and a Fellow of the IEEE.
Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1957,[1][2] he earned an electrical engineering baccalaureate degree from Lafayette College in 1979, a master's degree (1981) and a doctoral degree (1989) from the University of California, Irvine, also in electrical engineering.[3] Friedman graduated from Snyder High School in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1975. Friedman married his wife Laurie in 1984, and they have two sons.[4]
Friedman's research interests include integrated circuits, VLSI design and analysis, clock synchronization, power delivery, 3-D integration, superconductive single flux quantum circuits, and mixed-signal circuits.[5]
His career began in the Netherlands in 1978, working at Philips Gloeilampen Fabreiken on designing bipolar differential amplifiers.[1] From 1979 to 1991 he worked at Hughes Aircraft Company, developing a large variety of integrated circuits for US military and commercial applications.[6] He joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty at the University of Rochester in 1991.[6]
Friedman became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2000 and a Fulbright Scholar (at the Technion in Israel) in 2001. He received the 2005 William H. Riker University Award for Graduate Teaching at the University of Rochester.[7] In 2012 he became a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE CAS Society,[citation needed] and in 2013, he was awarded the Charles A. Desoer Technical Achievement Award,[8]. In October 2015 he was inducted into the University of California, Irvine, Engineering Hall of Fame.[9] He received the IEEE CAS Mac Van Valkenburg award in 2018.[10]
Friedman is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications.[11] He is a past editor-in-chief and chair of the steering committee for the IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems,[12] past editor-in-chief of the Microelectronics Journal, as well as past regional editor of the Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers.[13] He formerly served as a member of several editorial boards: Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing,[13] Journal of VLSI Signal Processing,[citation needed], Proceedings of the IEEE and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing.[citation needed]
Friedman has served multiple IEEE societies and committees: Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society Board of Governors and CAS liaison to the Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS);[citation needed] past chair of the VLSI Systems and Applications Circuits and Systems Society Technical Committee;[14] and past chair of the Electron Devices Chapter of the Rochester Section.[citation needed]
He was General/Program/Technical Co-Chair, for the 1997 International Workshop on Clock Distribution Networks.[15] He has also chaired the following IEEE events: the 2000 Workshop on Signal Processing Systems,[16] the 2003 and 2004 IEEE International Workshop on System-on-Chip for Real-Time Applications,[17] technical program chair of the 2004 IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems,[18] the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems,[19] and the 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Networks on Chip (NoC).[20]
Friedman has published almost 600 papers[21] and is co-inventor of 29 patents.[22]
