Professional Experience and Activities:

1. As part of my responsibilities at Kodak, I traveled widely in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia visiting many companies and research institutions to assess their technologies, developed research collaborations and manufacturing contracts.

2. I was a member and chair of the two IEEE committees on Precollege Education. The primary goal of these committees is to promote technological literacy in the K-12 grades.

3. I was an associate editor of the IEEE Solid State Circuits Journal, guest editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and chair of many technical sessions in major conferences.

4. In 1980 I co-founded the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), an International conference that has been running continuously since then. I served the conference for 13 years in all official capacities.

5. Since 2007 at URI up to now I have been co-advisor to 6 PhD and 14 Master’s degree students.
