Dr. Sodini, professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, holds the LeBel Chair of Electrical Engineering at MIT and is a Fellow of the IEEE. He served as president of the IEEE Solid State Circuit Society and his research concerns analog signal processing and RF integrated circuit and systems design, with application toward sensory interface electronics and wireless communication.
In 1974 Dr. Sodini received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from Purdue University. After graduating from Purdue, Sodini went on to become a Technical Staff Member, and later Project Leader, at Hewlett Packard Labs. While at HP, Sodini continued his studies and was awarded his Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering (1981) and Ph.D. (1982) from the University of California, Berkeley.
Professor Sodini has acted as a consultant for many top technology companies in the U.S., and in 1999 he co-founded SMaL Camera Technologies, which developed digital imaging solutions for a variety of business and consumer markets, including ultra-slim digital still cameras, automotive vision systems, and camera-enabled mobile devices. SMaL Camera was acquired by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation in 2005. |

Dr. Lawrence E. Larson
University of California, San Diego |
Dr. Lawrence E. Larson, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and Fellow of the IEEE, joined the faculty at UCSD in 1996, where he is Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and holds the Communications Industry endowed chair at the Jacobs School.
He was co-recipient of the 1996 Lawrence A. Hyland Patent Award of Hughes Electronics, for his work on low-noise millimeterwave HEMTs, the 1995 HRL sector Patent award for his work on RF MEMS technology, and the 1999 IBM Microelectronics Excellence Award for his work in Si/SiGe HBT technology. While at HRL, he pioneered the development of analog integrated circuits and low-noise HEMTs in III-V technology, as well as microwave integrated circuits in SiGe HBT technology. Dr. Larson received his PhD from UCLA in 1986, has published over 250 papers, co-authored three books, and has received 33 US patents.
