Stephen H. Lewis Outgoing Editor Journal of Solid-State Circuits lewis@ece.ucdavis.edu |
After three years, I am completing my term as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. I am grateful for the efforts of the Associate Editors, Guest Editors, and reviewers who have contributed over this time. Their expertise and tireless dedication sustain the high quality of the Journal. I am also grateful for the contributions of Mona Mittra and L. Elizabeth Stewart, the Journal's Managing and Associate Editors at IEEE, respectively. Their professionalism, skill, and close attention to detail allows the Journal to accurately publish over 2000 pages of technical literature each year. In addition, I am grateful to Anne O'Neill, Executive Director of the Solid-State Circuits Society, who helped in countless ways such as updating web pages and arranging for the printing of conference announcements. I am also grateful to Richard C. Jaeger, Chair of the Publications Committee and previous Editor-in-Chief, and Bruce A. Wooley, Society President, for their helpful advise. Finally, I am grateful to Barbara Allison Hurst, who handled all of the administrative jobs in the Editor's office with dedication, skill, and efficiency.
Beginning with the August issue, the next Editor-in-Chief of the Journal is Professor Bernhard E. Boser of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Boser has been very active in the solid-state circuits community. He recently completed service as an Associate Editor of the Journal and did an outstanding job in that capacity. Under his leadership, we can be confident that the Journal will become yet stronger as the flagship publication of our discipline.

Stephen H. Lewis Outgoing Editor Journal of Solid-State Circuits lewis@ece.ucdavis.edu |
The Journal of Solid-State Circuits continues to be regarded as the premier publication documenting the advances of the design of solid-state circuits. Over the last three years Professor Stephen H. Lewis has served as the Editor of the Journal, masterly balancing the high quality and rapid submission to publication cycle. The circuits community owes a debt of gratitude to Steve for his tireless efforts.
Following Dr. Lewis is a great honor and challenge for me. Fortunately, I can count on an extremely dedicated and qualified team of Associate Editors. I can also count on the Journal's reputation which continues to attract submissions from the most qualified circuit designers.
I believe that a very exciting time lies ahead for circuit design. Moore's Law defies all predictions of slowing-down, putting not only faster processes into our hands, but also raising challenging new opportunities for low-voltage circuits, new boundaries between analog and digital processing, and new means of interaction with the physical world, such as micro-mechanical systems, just to name a few examples. I am looking forward to a continuing stream of manuscripts describing new circuits and how to meet design challenges.
Bernhard E. Boser received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1984 and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1985 and 1988. From 1988 he was a Member of Technical Staff in the Adaptive Systems Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories. In 1992 he joined the faculty in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley, where he also serves as a Director of the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center. His research is in the area of analog and mixed-signal circuits, with special emphasis on micromechanical sensors and actuators.
Dr. Boser is the recipient of the 1987 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Fellowship Award and a 1992 National Science Foundation Research Initiation Award. From 1997 to 2000 he was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. He served on the program committee of several conferences, including the International Solid-State Circuits Conference from 1991 to 1996, the Transducers Conference in 1998, and the VLSI Symposium since 1999.
