Emad Hegazi, a doctoral candidate at UCLA, has been selected to receive the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Predoctoral Fellowship for 2001-2002.
Hegazi (S'94) received both his BS and MS in electrical engineering from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, in 1995 and 1998 respectively. Since 1998 he has been with UCLA, where he is a candidate for a Ph.D. in integrated circuits and systems. His research area covers fractional-n synthesizer design, high-purity VCO design and optimization methods.
"The Awards Committee had an exceptional field of candidates, and the choice was extremely difficult," reports SSCS Awards Chair, Richard Jaeger. "Mr. Hegazi is to be commended for being selected for this prestigious award." A certificate for the award will be presented to Hegazi at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) during the Monday morning Plenary session at the San Francisco Marriott on 4 February 2002.
