Albert Wang received the BSEE degree from the Tsinghua University, China, and the PhD EE degree from The State University of New York at Buffalo in 1985 and 1995, respectively. He has more than six years of industrial experience, most recently with the National Semiconductor Corporation in the Silicon Valley. In 1998, He joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), where he directed the Integrated Electronics Laboratory. In 2007, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of California, Riverside, as a Professor and Director for the Laboratory for Integrated Circuits and Systems. His research interests focus on A nalog/Mixed-Signal/RF ICs, Advanced on-Chip ESD Protection, IC CAD and Modelling, Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC), and Nano Devices, etc. Wang received the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation in 2002 and the inaugural Sigma Xi Award for Excellence in University Research from IIT in 2003. He is the author for the book “On-Chip ESD Protection for Integrated Circuits” (Kluwer, 2002) and 120+ peer-reviewed papers in the field, and holds six U.S. patents. Wang is Editor for the IEEE Electron Device Letters. He was Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I, Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II, Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and Guest Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. He has been an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for both the Electron Devices Society and the Solid-State Circuits Society since 2001. He currently serves as Vice President for IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS). He is committee member for the SIA International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS), the IEEE VLSI Technology and Circuits Committee and the IEEE Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee. He has been serving for many IEEE conferences as Program co-Chair, Organization co-Chair, Steering Committee Member, TPC Member, Subcommittee Chair and Session Chair, e.g., ASICON, IEDST, ICSICT, CICC, RFIC, APC-CAS, ASP-DAC, ISCAS, IPFA, ICEMAC, NewCAS, ISTC, IRPS, AP-RASC, MAPE, EDSSC, MIEL, etc. He is a frequent speaker at various industrial/academic/international forums and a frequent consultant to the IC industry.

He received the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation in 2002. He is the author of the book "On-Chip ESD Protection for Integrated Circuits - An IC Design Perspective" (Kluwer, 2002) and sixty papers in the field, and holds several U.S. patents. He is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for the Electron Devices Society and the Solid-State Circuits Society, an IEEE EDS AdCom Member, Vice Chair of EDS Regions and Chapters Committee for North America West and a Member of the EDS VLSI Technology and Circuits Committee. He serves as Technical Program Committee Member, Sub-Committee Chair and Session Chair for many conferences, e.g., IEEE CICC, RFIC, APC-CAS, ASP-DAC, etc. He serves as an Editor for the IEEE Electron Device Letters and an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II. He is an IEEE Senior Member, a frequent speaker at various industrial/academic/international forums and a frequent consultant to the IC industry.
