Talk Title: Circuit Intuitions

Abstract: This talk includes a selection of topics from Circuit Intuitions articles (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/search/searchresult.jsp?queryText=sheikholeslami&highlight=true&returnFacets=ALL&returnType=SEARCH&searchWithin=circuit%20intuition) that have appeared in the SSCS Magazine but an emphasis on Looking into a Node (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6841782). The main audience for this talk would be upper-year undergraduate students but may also serve the interest of graduate students and practicing engineers.

Bio: Ali Sheikholeslami (S'98-M'99-SM'02) received the B.Sc. degree from Shiraz University, Iran, in 1990 and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, Canada, in 1994 and 1999, respectively, all in electrical engineering. In 1999, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto where he is currently Professor and Associate Chair, Research. He was on research sabbatical with Fujitsu Labs in 2005-2006, and with Analog Devices in 2012-2013. His research interests are in analog and digital integrated circuits, high-speed signaling, and VLSI memory design. He has coauthored over 70 journal and conference papers, 10 patents, and a graduate-level textbook entitled "Understanding Jitter and Phase Noise".

 
Dr. Sheikholeslami served on the Memory, Technology Directions, and Wireline Subcommittees of the ISSCC in 2001-2004, 2002-2005, and 2007-2013, respectively. He currently serves as the Education Chair for both ISSCC and SSCS, and as a member of SSCS Administration Committee.
