Dr. L Carley

Biography

L. Richard Carley joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 1984 and has been a major contributor to the research and educational missions of the department. Before joining Carnegie Mellon, Carley received his S.B. in 1976, S.M. in 1978, and Ph.D. in 1984, all in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a key member of the Data Storage Systems Center and has served as associate director of electronic subsystems. Carley is internationally recognized for his research in CAD for analog circuit synthesis, high-speed analog signal processing circuits, RF front-end circuit design, low power and low voltage digital logic design, and the design of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). He has co-authored textbooks and more than 200 book chapters and papers in professional journals and conferences. Carley has received awards including the Paper Award from the Design Automation Conference. He is also an inventor or co-inventor on 23 patents. As a dedicated educator, Carley has graduated 40 M.S. students and 30 Ph.D. students who are now pursuing careers in academia and industry. His contributions to research and teaching earned him the election as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997. Additionally, he served on the editorial board of the journal Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing and was an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems (Part II) from 1993 to 1996. In 1997, Carley co-founded Neolinear, a Pittsburgh-based high-tech company specializing in analog CAD synthesis tools, which was acquired by Cadence in 2004.
