Biography
Behzad Razavi received the BSEE degree from Sharif University ofTechnology in 1985 and the MSEE and PhDEE degrees from StanfordUniversity in 1988 and 1992, respectively. He was with AT&T BellLaboratories and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories until 1996. Since 1996,he has been Associate Professor and subsequently Professor ofelectrical engineering at University of California, Los Angeles. Hiscurrent research includes wireless transceivers, frequencysynthesizers, phase-locking and clock recovery for high-speed datacommunications, and data converters.
ProfessorRazavi was an Adjunct Professor at Princeton University from 1992 to1994, and at Stanford University in 1995. He served on the TechnicalProgram Committees of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference(ISSCC) from 1993 to 2002 and VLSI Circuits Symposium from 1998 to2002. He has also served as Guest Editor and Associate Editor of theIEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, IEEE Transactions on Circuits andSystems, and International Journal of High Speed Electronics.
ProfessorRazavi received the Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence atthe 1994 ISSCC, the best paper award at the 1994 European Solid-StateCircuits Conference, the best panel award at the 1995 and 1997 ISSCC,the TRW Innovative Teaching Award in 1997, and the best paper award atthe IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference in 1998. He was theco-recipient of both the Jack Kilby Outstanding Student Paper Award andthe Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence at the 2001 ISSCC.He received the Lockheed Martin Excellence in Teaching Award in 2006and the UCLA Faculty Senate Teaching Award in 2007. He was alsorecognized as one of the top 10 authors in the 50-year history ofISSCC.
ProfessorRazavi is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, a Fellow of IEEE, and theauthor of Principles of Data Conversion System Design (IEEE Press,1995), RF Microelectronics (Prentice Hall, 1998) (translated to Chineseand Japanese), Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits (McGraw-Hill,2001) (translated to Chinese and Japanese), Design of IntegratedCircuits for Optical Communications (McGraw-Hill, 2003), andFundamentals of Microelectronics (Wiley 2006). He is also the editor ofMonolithic Phase-Locked Loops and Clock Recovery Circuits (IEEE Press,1996), and Phase-Locking in High-Performance Systems (IEEE Press,2003).
