About The Authors

Gordon W. Roberts

Dr. Gordon W. Roberts is currently an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Director of the Microelectronics and Computer Systems Laboratory (MACS), both at McGill University. Over the years, he has conducted extensive research on mixed-signal testing issues and analog integrated circuit design. He has published over 60 papers, co-authored several text books related to mixed-signal test and analog integrated circuit design, and contributed 6 chapters to other books. He gives a full one-day tutorial on mixed-signal test each year at the International Test Conference to test professionals. He is presently an associate editor of the IEEE Transaction on Circuits and Systems, Part II, and the editor for the IEEE Design & Test of Computers Magazine. Prof. Roberts has received numerous department and faculty awards for teaching electronics to undergraduates, and received several IEEE awards for his work on mixed-signal testing.
