Editor:
Dr. Krzysztof (Kris) Iniewski is managing R&D developments at Redlen Technologies Inc., a start-up company in British Columbia. He is also an Executive Director of CMOS Emerging Technologies Inc. (www.cmoset.com). His research interests are in hardware design for bio-medical and networking applications. From 2004 to 2006 he was an Associate Professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Department of University of Alberta where he conducted research on low power wireless circuits and systems. During his tenure in Edmonton he put together a book for CRC Press Wireless Technologies: Circuits, Systems and Devices. From 1995 to 2003, he was with PMC-Sierra and held various technical and management positions. During his tenure he led development of number of VLSI chips used in optical networks. Prior to joining PMC-Sierra, from 1990 to 1994 he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Torontos Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Dr. Iniewski has published over 100 research papers in international journals and conferences. He holds 18 international patents granted in USA, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. He received his Ph.D. degree in electronics (honors) from the Warsaw University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland) in 1988. Together with Carl McCrosky and Dan Minoli he is an author of Data Networks VLSI and Optical Fibre, Wiley, 2008. He recently edited Medical Imaging Electronics, Wiley 2009, VLSI Circuits for Bio-medical applications, Artech House 2008, and Circuits at Nanoscale: Communications, Imaging and Sensing, CRC Press 2008.
