CAMBRIDGE, MA. 03.02.2006
The Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announces
that Vladimir
M. Stojanovic, a principal investigator
in RLE and a member of MIT's Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), will be the
2006-2007 Doherty Assistant Professor of Ocean Utilization.
The professorship, established through a generous grant
from the Henry L. and Grace Doherty Charitable Foundation,
is administered by the MIT Sea Grant College Program
to recognize and support junior MIT faculty conducting
research that can impact the innovative use of marine
resources.
Professor Stojanovic leads RLE's Integrated Systems
Group and conducts collaborative research in MIT's
Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL). He received
the Dipl.Ing. from the University of Belgrade in 1998,
and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. from Stanford University
in 2000 and 2005 respectively. From 1999 to 2004, he
was Principal Engineer in the Logic Interface Division
of Rambus, Inc. Professor Stojanovic's research interests
include optimization of integrated circuits and systems
application of convex optimization to digital communications,
analog and VLSI circuits, modeling of noise and dynamics
in circuits and systems, communications and signal
processing architectures, high-speed electrical and
optical links, on-chip signalling, clock generation
and distribution and high-speed digital and mixed-signal
IC design.
Said Jeffrey
H. Shapiro, RLE Director and Julius A.
Stratton Professor of Electrical Engineering, "A
key area of Professor Stojanovic's research holds the
potential for achieving enormous performance gains
for multi-mode fiber communications, especially for
battery-powered applications in which energy efficiency
is of paramount importance. Thus his work will be of
great value for undersea sensors, as well as having
important ramifications for all short-range optical
communications relying on multi-mode optical fiber.
I am grateful to the Doherty Foundation for its vision
in establishing this award, and for MIT Sea Grant's
continuing efforts to promote multi-disciplinary research
and scholarship at MIT that contribute to a sustainable
marine environment and economy."
The support from this award will facilitate Professor
Stojanovic's research efforts to dramatically improve
upon conventional optical communication approaches
over multi-mode fiber, with significant potential impact
in the cost, simplicity, and energy utilization of
marine communications.
