Biography

Vincent J. Mooney III (Senior Member, IEEE and Member, ACM) received the B.S. degree from Yale University in 1991, where he double majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He was a member of the 1989 Ivy League Championship football team for Yale and was one of 29 football players to be awarded the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship upon his graduation in 1991. During the '91 - '92 school year he did research on real-time vision systems at the "Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Tecnicas" (CEIT) in San Sebastian, Spain. CEIT is affiliated with the School of Engineering of the University of Navarra.

Vincent received an M.S. degree in E.E. from Stanford University in 1994, an M.A. degree in Philosophy from Stanford in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree in E.E. from Stanford in June of 1998. From 1998 to 2004 he was an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, USA; since 2004 he has been an Associate Professor in ECE.

Vincent has worked at Bell Labs (Lucent), Allied Signal Aerospace VLSI Design Group, Hughes Network Systems, and Redwood Design Automation (acquired by Cadence).

He is a recipient of the NSF Career Award in 2000.

He was General Chair of IFIP VLSI-SoC 2007.

He is an Associate Editor of both the IEEE Transactions on VLSI as well as the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems.

His research interests include computer-aided design of integrated circuits with a particular emphasis on hardware-software codesign, reconfigurable computing, power-aware and probabilistic architectures and circuits
