Yannis Tsividis

Winner of multiple awards, including the IEEE W. R. G. Baker Prize in 1984, Mr. Tsividis is a professor of electrical engineering at Columbia University. He was the first to model and then demonstrate the first fully integrated MOS operational amplifier in 1976 and has since done extensive work in analog and mixed signal integrated circuits at the device, system, and computer simulation level. His seminal book, "Operation and Modeling of the MOS Transistor" (Oxford University Press) is now in its third edition. Mr. Tsividis holds a Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley and has been awarded over 25 patents.
