Exectutive Vice Chancellor and Provost

In 1969 Paul Gray joined the Research and Development Laboratory, Fairchild Semiconductor, Palo Alto, California, where he was involved in the application of new technologies for analog integrated circuits, including power integrated circuits and data conversion circuits. In 1971 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley, where he is now a Professor. His research interests during this period have included bipolar and MOS circuit design, electro-thermal interactions in integrated circuits, device modeling, telecommunications circuits, and analog-digital interfaces in VLSI systems. He is the co-author of a widely used college textbook on analog integrated circuits. During year-long industrial leaves of absence from Berkeley, Professor Gray served as Project Manager for Telecommunications Filters at Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, in 1977-78, and as Director of CMOS Design Engineering at Microlinear Corporation, San Jose, CA, in 1984-85. At Berkeley he has held several administrative posts including Director of the Electronics Research Laboratory (1985-86), Vice-Chairman of the EECS Department for Computer Resources (1988-90), and Chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (1990-93). He currently holds the Edgar R. and Harold H. Buttner Chair in Electrical Engineering at Berkeley. He has been co-recipient of best-paper awards at the International Solid State Circuits Conference, the European Solid-State Circuits Conference, and was co-recipient of the IEEE R. W. G. Baker Prize in 1980, the IEEE Morris K. Liebman award in 1983, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Achievement Award in 1987. In 1994 he received the IEEE Solid-State Circuits award. He served as editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits from 1977 through 1979, and as Program Chairman of the 1982 International Solid State Circuits Conference. He served as President of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council from 1988 to 1990. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
