Peter R. Kinget received the engineering degree (Summa cum Laude) in
electrical and mechanical engineering and the Ph.D. (Summa cum Laude
with Congratulations of the Jury) in electrical engineering from
the Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, Belgium, in 1990 and 1996, respectively.
From 1991 to 1995, he received a graduate fellowship from the
Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (NFWO) to work as a
Research Assistant at
the ESAT-MICAS
Laboratory of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. From 1996 to 1999
he was at Bell
Laboratories, Lucent
Technologies, in Murray Hill, NJ, as a Member of Technical Staff in
the Design Principles Department. From 1999 to 2002 he held various
technical and management positions in IC design and development
at Broadcom, CeLight and
MultiLink. In the summer of 2002 he joined the faculty of
the Department of Electrical
Engineering, Columbia
University, NY. He is also a consultant to industry. His research
interests are in analog and RF integrated circuits and signal
processing. He has published over 100 papers in journals and conferences
and holds 6 US patents with several applications under review. His
research group has received funding from the National Science
Foundation, the Semiconductor Research Corporation, an IBM Faculty Award
and from several grants from semiconductor companies.
Dr. Kinget is a Senior Member of
the IEEE. He was Associate Editor of
the IEEE Journal of Solid State
Circuits (2003-2007), and is currently an Associate Editor for
the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and
Systems II. He has served as a member of the Technical Program
Committee of the IEEE Custom
Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) (2000-2005) and
the Symposium on VLSI
Circuits (2003-2006), and currently serves on the Technical Program
Committees of the International
Solid-State Circuits Conference (2005-) and
the European Solid-State Circuits
Conference (2005-). He is a co-recipient of the "Best Student Paper
Award - 1st Place" at the 2008 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits
(RFIC) Symposium and of the First Prize in the 2009 Vodafone Americas
Foundation Wireless Innovation Challenge. He is a "Distinguished
Lecturer" for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
