Sodini has just completed two years as Vice President of the Society (2000-2001). Lewis has been Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Solid-State Circuits (1999-2001). Bruce Wooley now assumes the office of SSCS Past President.

Charles G. Sodini received his BS in EE from Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, in 1974, and his MS and Ph.D. in EE from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1981 and 1982, respectively. He was a member of the technical staff at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories from 1974 to 1982, where he worked on the design of MOS memory and later on the development of MOS devices with very thin-gate dielectrics. He joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1983, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His research interests are focused on integrated circuit and system design with emphasis on analog, RF, and memory circuits and systems. With Professor Roger T. Howe, he is a co-author of an undergraduate text on integrated circuits and devices titled Microelectronics: An Integrated Approach. Sodini held the Analog Devices Career Development Professorship of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and was awarded an IBM Faculty Development Award from 1985 to 1987.

An IEEE Fellow, Sodini has served on a variety of IEEE Conference committees, including the International Electron Device Meeting, where he was the 1989 General Chair. He was the Technical Program Co-Chair for the 1992 Symposium on VLSI Circuits and was the 1993-1994 Co-Chair of the Symposium. He served on the Electron Device Society Administrative Committee from 1988 to 1994 and was the 1998-1999 Meetings Committee Chair for the Solid-State Circuits Society.

Stephen H. Lewis received his BS from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1979, his MS from Stanford University, Stanford, California, in 1980, and his Ph.D. from the UC Berkeley, in 1987, all in EE.

From 1980 to 1982 he was with Bell Laboratories, Whippany, New Jersey, where he was involved in circuit design for magnetic recording. In 1988, he rejoined Bell Laboratories, in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he concentrated on the design of analog-to-digital converters. In 1991, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Davis, where he is now a professor. His research interests include data conversion, signal processing, and analog circuit design.

Lewis, an IEEE Fellow, was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits from 1994 to 1997 and was its Editor from 1999-2001. Lewis also was a member of the Program Committee for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference from 1994 to 1998.
