CAS SOCIETY AWARDS
IEEE CAS Awards 2009
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 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 2009 CAS Awards:
IEEE Gustav Robert Kirchhoff’s Award — Ernest S. Kuh
For outstanding contributions to theory and practice in circuits and systems and for pioneering work in electronics design automation.
IEEE CAS Society Mac Van Valkenburg Award — Gabor C. Temes
For pioneering research on the theory and design of analog filters, switched-capacitor circuits and delta-sigma data converters, and for contributions to engineering education through widely used professional and text books, as well as the mentoring of hundreds of successful electronics engineers.
IEEE CAS Society Technical Achievement Award — Yoji Kajitani
For sustained and outstanding seminal technical contributions for nearly four decades to the foundation of electrical circuit theory, VLSI CAD and graph theory.
IEEE CAS Society Education Award — Andreas Antoniou
For demonstrating leadership in the establishment of new innovative undergraduate and graduate programs in electrical and computer engineering, authored textbooks on digital filters, digital signal processing, and optimization, presented numerous lectures, plenary talks, and tutorials worldwide, supervised many graduate students, and published extensively in prestigious journals.
EEE CAS Society Meritorious Service Award — Ellen Yoffa
For dedicated service to the IEEE CAS Society and its membership and for leadership and technical contributions in the field of electronic design automation.
IEEE CAS Society Meritorious Service Award — Magdy A. Bayoumi
For outstanding long-term service and dedication to the CAS Society; for taking initiations that have long lasting impact and meaningful value to the CAS members in several areas: conferences, technical activities, publications, reaching out, and Society visibility.
IEEE CAS Society Industrial Pioneer Award — Paul E. Jacobs
Paul E. Jacobs’ vision of wireless data services has been pioneering and transformational in the worldwide cellular industry. At Qualcomm, starting from the development of the first Palm OS based Smartphone, and now in his capacity as CEO, he has grown company revenues to over $10B through this vision.
