Biography

Dr. Bogdan J. Falkowski received the M.S.E.E. degree and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, and the Portland State University, Portland, OR, in 1978 and 1991, respectively. His industrial experience includes research and development positions at several companies. He then joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Portland State University. Since 1992, he has been with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he is currently an Associate Professor. His research interests include very large-scale integrated systems and design, switching circuits, testing, digital signal and image processing, and design of algorithms. He specializes in the design of digital circuits with the use of spectral methods and has published three book chapters and over 105 refereed journal papers and 200 conference papers in this area. Dr. Falkowski received the Hartree Premium Award that recognizes the outstanding paper published in 2001 in IEE Proceedings on Computers and Digital Techniques in 2002. He was a Guest Editor of the VLSI Design Journal, and Technical Chair for IEEE International Conference on Information, Communication and Signal Processing, Singapore, in 1999. He is listed in Marquis Who is Who in Science and Engineering as well as in the International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, UK for many years. He was elected an Executive Member of IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee in Multiple-Valued Logic for 2004 - 2006. He was Symposium Chair for 36th IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic held in Singapore in May 2006. Currently he serves as associate editor for the IET Signal Processing from 2007 to 2010. He is a Senior Member of IEEE from 1994 as well as member of Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society and Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering Honor Society from 1989.
