Cor L. Claeys
COR L. CLAEYS
(Nominated by IEEE Division I)
Director of Advanced Semiconductor Technologies, IMEC; and
Professor, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Leuven, Belgium
Dr. Claeys received his MSEE and PhD from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.
He was at the ESAT Laboratory of KU Leuven (1974-1984) and since 1990, a Professor. In 1984 he joined IMEC as Head Silicon Processing and in 1990 became Head Radiation Effects, Cryogenic Electronics and Noise Studies. Presently he is Director Advanced Semiconductor Technologies responsible for Strategic Relations. Main interests are in silicon ULSI technology, device physics, low frequency noise and radiation effects, and defect engineering and material characterization.
He co-authored 4 books, 14 book chapters and over 900 technical papers and conference contributions. He organized several international conferences and edited 43 Proceedings Volumes. He was Visiting Professor at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, and University of Calabria, Italy.
Dr. Claeys received the IEEE Third Millennium Medal, was elected Academician and Professor of the International Information Academy, and received the Electronics Division Award of the Electrochemical Society.
IEEE Accomplishments – Convinced about the importance and central role of volunteers within the IEEE organizations he contributed to the following achievements:
- Founded the EDS Benelux Chapter.
- Actively promoted chapter formation worldwide.
- Local visits and traveling around the globe to attract enthusiastic volunteers.
- As EDS Vice-President Chapters and Regions strongly supported the globalization concept.
- Gave numerous Distinguished Lectures and participated in mini colloquia.
- Contributed to the increase of chapters in Region 10 (India and China) and Region 9 (Latin and South America).
- Increased the awareness of the role played by IEEE and supported local drivers to form new chapters.
- Strongly supported the Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD). The Benelux was the first Section recognized for their outstanding GOLD activities. EDS has a very strong GOLD program with several new initiatives which are considered as best practices.
His EDS presidency focused on globalization (strong increase of chapters worldwide, increased budgets for local activities, more global representation in AdCom and technical committees), increasing the membership benefits by new initiatives, highlighting the importance of students and GOLD members as our future assets, and enhancing the visibility of the role of the society.
Statement – Crucial aspects are the central role of enthusiastic volunteers, the need to optimize membership benefits from a professional and personal perspective, the continuation and expansion of the globalization actions, and building on the future. Tomorrow’s engineers are a different type of persons with a strong multidisciplinary training and a very broad field of interest, having different needs and perspectives and using the rapid changing and advancing electronic communication tools and media. I am glad that there is a strongly growing awareness of this within IEEE by shaping their new products and services.
Societies remain playing an important role within the organization, with at their center the chapters forming a direct link with the members. However, there is a strong need for Societies to work closely together to strengthen their position, exploit synergies and offering new possibilities. Also the link with the regional activities has to become stronger. As Division I Delegate/Director I would encourage joint activities between the different operational units, promote more involvement of global volunteers’ from both academia and industry at all operational levels, foster activities of students and GOLD members, and support new membership benefits initiatives.

Alfred E. Dunlop
ALFRED E. DUNLOP
(Nominated by IEEE Division I)
President
Crossbow Consulting, LLC
Kattskill Bay, New York, USA
http://aldunlop.com/div1.html
Dr. Dunlop received his BEE from the University of Delaware, MSEE and PhD from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1975, 1977 and 1979 respectively. He holds 14 patents in the areas of circuit design, system initialization and algorithms.
Since 2001, he has been president of Crossbow Consulting, LLC where he has worked for clients on topics including circuit design, system architecture, system startup and Electronic Design Automation (EDA).
He was founder and VP of Engineering at a startup 2002.
Dr. Dunlop worked at Bell Laboratories 25 years where he held research and development positions. He was responsible for the IC layout tools in the mid 1980s. He later built clock recovery circuits for packet systems. In research, he held the position of Director of Design Principles Research and later Director of Optical Data Systems Research before retiring in 2001.
IEEE Accomplishments – I have worked with others to:
- Co-found the Council on Electronic Design Automation. I served as its first president.
- Chair the Periodicals Package Committee, monitoring on-line publications revenue and distribution of revenue in as fair a way as possible.
- Close down wasteful internal committees and to eliminate superfluous meetings.
- Create and document the process for the creation of new Societies and Councils.
- Oversee Societies and Councils that are heading into financial difficulties.
- Achieve long term funding for IEEE’s indirect infrastructure while reinforcing its oversight.
- Uphold the high ethical standards of IEEE by serving on the TAB Ethics and Conflict Resolution Committee.
- Serve as Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor and Special Issue Editor for Transactions.
- Be General Chair for conferences spanning sizes from 50 to almost 4000 attendees.
- Serve numerous roles in society/council Board of Governor and Executive Committees.
- Oversee IEEE societies and councils as a member of financial and management committees.
I have the experience within Division I societies and councils to advance the interests of the technical community, to make IEEE a friendlier organization with which to work, and to keep costs under control.
Statement – If elected as IEEE Division I Director, I will continue to strengthen connectivity between those in academia and industry. As Director, I will work to improve member services while reducing costs.
The current conferences, journals and Xplore are excellent assets, but in a web-connected world, more can be done to support interactive content.
As energy costs go up and travel becomes more difficult, conferences are becoming inefficient uses of time and money. We need to creatively find low environmental impact ways for the technical community to interact and to form interest groups. These same efforts will help IEEE advance interactions across our worldwide technical community.
Furthermore, systems designs, which had been principally electrical or electro-mechanical in nature, are becoming more multi-disciplinary including nano-, bio-, chemical-, and power- technologies among others. We should foster ways to interact with much broader technical communities.

Statement – Division-I is fortunate to have a cohesive group of societies that share many common interests. I am the only candidate who is a Fellow of all three Division I societies (CASS, EDS, SSCS). Our members are faced with many challenges, particularly during the current worldwide economic crisis. This reality results in an increasingly competitive global marketplace for our technologies. Globalization is an important trend that presents challenges and opportunities to be addressed.
As Division-I Director, I will dedicate myself to the synergism and cooperation in our overlapping technical areas of interest, and also to increasing cooperation between our worldwide memberships. My extensive knowledge of corporate IEEE, understanding of the diverse cultural environments of our members, and knowledge of several languages are good prerequisites for it. We must maintain our relevance and vitality, and be responsive to our members and chapters at the local level. I will work to optimize member benefits and to promote cost controls.
Hoping that my background and vision merit your approval, I thank you for your vote and support!
