2005 IEEE NORTH JERSEY FELLOWS

 

Jeff D. Bude

for contributions to the deep submicron MOSFETs.”

Jeff Bude was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1966.  He received his BS degree with Highest Honors in 1987 and PhD degree in 1992, both at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  In 1992 he joined Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ, as a Member of the Technical Staff and became a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff in 1999.  Since 2000 he has been a Director of the High Speed Electronics Device Research Department and the Advanced RF Power Device Department at Agere Systems.  In 2005 he became an IEEE Fellow for contributions to the deep sub-micron MOSFET.  His research interests are in computational physics and semiconductor device physics.  He has been involved in the simulation, design and implementation of novel memories, transistors and photo-detectors, and in research emphasizing nano-transistor physics, hot carrier effects and reliability.

 

Nicholas Geoffrey Duffield

for contributions to the measurement, analysis and management of telecommunications networks.”

Nick Duffield was awarded a BA in Natural Sciences in 1982 and the Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathematics in 1983 by the University of Cambridge, U.K.  He was awarded a PhD in 1987 by the University of London, U.K., for a study of non-equilibrium phase-transitions in biological systems.  He held postdoctoral positions in Heidelberg, Germany, and Dublin, Ireland, before joining the faculty of the School of Mathematical Sciences in Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland in 1991.  He moved to AT&T Labs-Research in 1995, where he is a Senior Technical Consultant in the Internet and Network Systems Research Laboratory.  His curr
