Abstract:
Bio: Qi-jun Zhang received the B.Eng. Degree from East China Engineering Institute, Nanjing, China in 1982, and the Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada, in 1987. He was with Optimization Systems Associates Inc. (now acquired by Agilent), Dundas, Ontario, Canada during 1988-1990, developing advanced microwave optimization software. He joined the Department of Electronics, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada in 1990 where he is presently a Professor. His research interests are neural network and optimization methods for high-speed/highfrequency circuit design. He has more than 150 publications in the area. He is an author of Neural Networks for RF and Microwave Design (Artech House, Boston, 2000), a coeditor of Modeling and Simulation of High-Speed VLSI Interconnects (Kluwer, Boston, 1994), a contributor to Analog Methods for Computer-Aided Analysis and Diagnosis, (Marcel Dekker, New York, 1988), a contributor to the upcoming Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering (Wiley, New York, 2004), a Guest co-Editor for a Special Issue on High-Speed VLSI Interconnects for the International Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing (Kluwer, Boston, 1994), and a Guest Editor for two Special Issues on Applications of ANN to RF and Microwave Design for the International Journal of RF and Microwave CAE (Wiley, New York, 1999, 2002).
Dr. Zhang is a member of the Professional Engineers Ontario, and a Senior Member of the IEEE. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, and a member of the Technical Program Committee of the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium.
