Eby G. Friedman

Eby G. Friedman is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester, where he has served since 1991 as director of the High Performance VLSI/IC Design and Analysis Laboratory. He concurrently holds a visiting professor position at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, directing the Technion Advanced Circuits Research Center (ACRC).

His research specializes in high performance synchronous digital and mixed-signal microelectronic design with applications in high-speed portable processors and low-power wireless communications. Core focus areas include CMOS circuit design, clock/power distribution networks, interconnect synthesis, substrate noise mitigation, pipelining techniques, and 3-D integration methodologies. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical implementations in VLSI systems.
