Richard Jaeger |
Distinguished University Professor Richard Jaeger has been awarded the 2004 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Undergraduate Teaching Award.
The award cites Jaeger for "excellence in undergraduate teaching and development of outstanding textbooks for courses in microelectronics".
Jaeger, who currently serves as interim director of Auburn's wireless engineering program, will receive the award in February at the 2004 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco.
After earning his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Florida, Jaeger was employed with the IBM Corporation where he worked on precision analog design, microprocessor architecture, and low temperature devices and circuits. He holds three patents and received two Invention Achievement Awards from IBM.
He joined Auburn's faculty in 1979 and from 1984 to 2001 served as the founding director of the Alabama Microelectronics Science and Technology Center.
In addition to more than 200 technical papers and articles, Jaeger is the author of Introduction to Microelectronic Fabrication and Microelectronic Circuit Design for which he won the 1988 IEEE Education Society Jacob Millman/McGraw-Hill Award for outstanding textbook development. He is co-author of Computerized Circuit Design Using SPICE Programs.
Elected IEEE Fellow in 1986, Jaeger's IEEE service includes IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council member, 1984-1991, Solid-State Circuits Council president, 1990-1991, former editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, member of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society administrative committee, chair of the SSCS publications and awards committees, program chair of the 1993 International Solid-State Circuits Conference, and chair of the 1990 VLSI Circuits Symposium.
As founding editor in chief of IEEE MICRO magazine, he received an Outstanding Contribution Award from the IEEE Computer Society. He was selected to membership in the IEEE Computer Society's "Golden Core" and received the IEEE Third Millennium Medal.
Jaeger was one of the first three faculty members appointed Distinguished University Professor by Auburn University. His teaching awards include the Birdsong Merit Teaching Award and selection by ECE undergraduate students as Outstanding Electrical Engineering Faculty Member. In 1995 he was named Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecturer.
His current research interests include solid-state circuits and devices, electronic packaging, piezoresistive stress sensors, high heat flux cooling, low temperature electronics, VLSI design, and noise in electronic devices and circuits.
