He holds four U.S. patents (1985–1986), has authored more than 100 technical papers, technical reports in the field of design of matching networks and microwave amplifiers, mathematical models for any systems, speech and biomedical signal processing (since 1982). He rejoined Istanbul University in October 2004. He spent the year of 2006–2007 on sabbatical at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan. Dr. Yarman received the Young Turkish Scientist Award, National Research Council of Turkey (NRCT) (1986), the International Man of the Year in Science and Technology, Cambridge Biography Center of U.K. (1998), the Member Academy of Science of New York (1994). Since 2004, he has been the Chairman of the Science Commission in charge of the development of the Turkish Rail Road Systems of Ministry of Transportation.
Jean-Baptiste Begueret – COFI Dept. – University Bordeaux 1.
Jean-Baptiste Begueret (M’99) received the M.S. degree in electronics in 1990 and the PhD degree in 1996, both from the University of Bordeaux, France. In 1997, he joined IXL, the microelectronics laboratory of University of Bordeaux, France, as an assistant professor, becoming associate professor in 1999 with the IC Design Team, where he leads the "High-Speed Mixed IC" Team since 2000. Since 2005, he is the head of this "IC Design Team". In 2006, he became a full professor in this University. His research interests are in silicon, SiGe and SOI IC design for RF (up to 80 GHz) and high-speed data link (up to 40 Gbps) applications. He has been a member of the Technical Program Committee (TPC) of the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuit Conference (CICC). In 2002, he received the Best Paper Award at the "Asian Pacific Microwave Conference" in Japan. Since 2004, he joined the RF subcommittee of the TPCs of the IEEE Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting (BCTM), RFIT (IEEE International Workshop on Radio-Frequency Integration Technology) and ICECS (IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems). He is co-author of more than 100 publications in international conferences, 18 articles in major journals, and 10 patents. In 2006, he is Technical Program Chair of the IEEE ICECS conference hold in Nice, and in 2007, he will be General Chair of IEEE PRIME conference in Bordeaux.
