A fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and professor of electrical and computer engineering, University of Rochester, Eby G. Friedman '79 recently published “Clock Distribution Networks in Synchronous Digital Integrated Circuits” in the May 2001 Proceedings of the IEEE.

An electrical engineering graduate, Friedman holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from University of California at Irvine. He is director of the High Performance VLSI/IC (Very Large Scale Integrated Systems/Integrated Circuits) Design and Analysis Laboratory and also directs the Center for Electronic Imaging Systems at Rochester. His current research and teaching interests are in high-performance synchronous digital and mixed-signal microelectronic design and analysis with application to high-speed portable processors and low-power wireless communications. He is the author of more than 150 papers and book chapters and the author or editor of six books.

Friedman is editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems, regional editor of Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, a member of the Circuits and Systems (CAS) Board of Governors, and a member of several editorial boards and conference committees. He is a recipient of Howard Hughes master's and doctoral fellowships, an IBM University Research Award, and a University of Rochester College of Engineering Teaching Excellence Award. He is also a Fulbright Scholar.

Before joining the Rochester faculty in 1991, Friedman worked for Hughes Aircraft Company, rising to the position of manager of the signal processing design and test department.
