Vincent Gaudet

Professor Vincent Gaudet is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He holds a Ph.D. (2003) and M.A.Sc. (1997) from the University of Toronto and a B.Sc. (1995) from the University of Manitoba. His research focuses on high-performance microelectronic circuits for information processing, including stochastic computing, error-correcting codes (LDPC/Turbo), and biomedical applications such as neural recording systems. He has held visiting roles at Tohoku University and Northeastern University, and has served as Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Multiple-Valued Logic (2016-2017).

• Education: B.Sc. (1995), M.A.Sc. (1997), Ph.D. (2003) in Electrical Engineering
• Editorial Roles: IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, ISSCC Technical Editor

His research interests span VLSI design, low-power circuits, biomedical instrumentation, and machine learning applications in medical imaging. He has pioneered FPGA implementations of stochastic decoders and AI-driven diagnostic tools for PET imaging. Notable awards include the Petro Canada Young Innovator Award (2009) and Engineering Society Teaching Excellence Award (2015).

Teaching focuses on digital/analog circuit design (ECE 240/340/445/637), with contributions to the 8th edition of the textbook Microelectronic Circuits. He has held leadership roles including Department Chair (2016-2020) and Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies (2013-2016).
