Robert Brayton
Robert Brayton received the BSEE degree from Iowa State University in 1956 and the Ph.D. degree in mathematics from MIT in 1961. He was a member of the Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center until he joined the EECS Department at Berkeley in 1987. He held the Edgar L. and Harold H. Buttner Endowed Chair and retired as the Cadence Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering at Berkeley.
He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, an IEEE Fellow, and has received the following awards: IEEE Guilleman-Cauer (1971), ISCAS Darlington (1987), IEEE CAS Technical Achievement (1991), IEEE Emanuel R. Piore (2006), ACM Kanallakis (2006), European DAA Lifetime Achievement (2006), EDAC/CEDA Phil Kaufman (2007), D.O. Pederson best paper in Trans. CAD (2008), ACM/IEEE A. Richard Newton Technical Impact in EDA (2009), Iowa State University Distinguished Alumnus (2010), SRC Technical Excellence (2011) and ACM/SIGDA Pioneering Achievement (2011).
He has co-authored over 460 technical papers, and 11 books in the areas of the analysis of nonlinear networks, simulation and optimization of electrical circuits, logic synthesis, and formal design verification.
