IEEE Circuits and Systems Society – 2008 Mac Van Valkenburg Award
Jan M. Rabaey, University of California at Berkeley
For seminal contributions to the fields of VLSI implementation of signal processing and communication algorithms, design methodologies and computer-aided design tools, configurable computing, and low-power digital and RF circuit and system design. For dedication to undergraduate and graduate education..
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society – 2008 Education Award
Josef A. Nossek, Technical University Munich
For pioneering and outstanding contributions to circuits and systems education, especially in the areas of circuit theory and signal processing and the interrelation of both. For significant leadership role in introducing the dual-cycle bachelor-master education system in engineering and its integration with single-cycle European diploma degree program.
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society – 2008 Technical Achievement Award
Edgar Sanchez-Sinencio, Texas A&M University
For continuous outstanding technical contributions for nearly three and half decades to analog and mixed signal integrated circuits, computer-aided circuit design, neural network implementations, continuous-time filters and RF transceivers, emphasizing theoretical and practical aspects ranging from analog circuit fundamentals to applied areas such as built-in testing circuits and ultra wide band receivers. For sustained leadership efforts in developing a research group, promoting circuits and systems through text books, research publications, and numerous CAS Society technical and BoG committees/editorial/conference activities.

![CAS SOCIETY AWARDS
CASS Awards 2008
Every year the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CAS) recognizes individuals who have paid outstanding contributions to the technical fields covered by the Society. We select deserving individuals for each of the six CAS Awards that are handed out annually (and one Award biannually).
In addition, CAS presents Best Paper Awards annually to authors of selected best papers published in the Society’s journals in one of the two preceding years. All are selected by a dedicated committee after a call for nominations which is open to the entire membership.
The following are the recipients of the 2008 CAS Awards:
