YEO Kiat Seng received the B.Eng. (with Honors in Elect. Eng.) in 1993, and Ph.D. (Elect. Eng.) in 1996 both from Nanyang Technological University. He joined the School of EEE, NTU as a lecturer in 1996. Kiat Seng is a widely known authority on low-power integrated circuit (IC) design and a recognized expert in CMOS technology and radio frequency (RF) IC design. He was the first person in South-East Asia to set-up a facility to perform research and development in RF CMOS device modeling and characterization. His research achievements and contributions in IC design have been recognized in both academic and industry. As a result of his innovative pioneering work in the field of IC design, he has successfully attracted more than S$30 million of external research funding from various funding agencies and the industry in the last 5 years. Since 1996, he has been providing consultation services to statutory boards, local SMEs and multinational corporations in the areas of IC design. Several of his patents were licensed to companies for commercial exploitation. He is the author of 6 books: Intellectual Property for Integrated Circuits (J. Ross Publishing (USA), International Edition, 2009), Design of CMOS RF Integrated Circuits and Systems (World Scientific Publishing, International Edition, 2009), Low-Voltage, Low-Power VLSI Subsystems (McGraw-Hill, New York, International Edition, 2005), Low-Voltage Low-Power Digital BiCMOS Circuits: Circuit Design, Comparative Study, and Sensitivity Analysis (Prentice Hall, NJ: Upper Saddle River, International Edition, 2000) and CMOS/BiCMOS ULSI: Low-Voltage, Low-Power (Prentice Hall, NJ: Upper Saddle River, International Edition, 2002). The latter was translated to Chinese version and was one of the excellent foreign textbooks in China, 3 book chapters, and more than 300 international journal and conference papers. He holds 25 patents, including two patents for the world’s smallest integrated transformer, the inventor of several high Q-factor RF spiral inductors and co-inventor of quite a few novel circuit techniques for RF IC applications. With his exemplary research leadership and several major breakthroughs in the field of IC design, NTU was ranked 16th in the world and among the top three in Asia in 2008 Integrated Circuit Design Research Ranking for Worldwide Universities published by Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers. Kiat Seng is also an excellent teacher who shows distinction and success. He has supervised or trained more than 100 researchers and postgraduate students, many of whom had become successful leaders in industry and academia. Apart from his excellent teaching and research achievements, Kiat Seng has contributed significant services to the university and to professional societies. He was Sub-Dean (Student Affairs), Program Manager of the System-on-Chip flagship project, Research Coordinator of the Integrated Circuit Design Group and Principal Investigator of the Integrated Circuit Technology Group at NTU. In 2009, he founded VIRTUS, a S$50 million IC Design Centre of Excellence jointly funded by NTU and Singapore’s Economic Development Board. He is currently Board Member of the Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA) and Head of Division of Circuits and Systems. He gave several keynotes and invited presentations at various scientific meetings, workshops and seminars and serves in the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques and hold/held key positions in many international conferences as General Chair, Co-General Chair and Technical Chair. Kiat Seng was awarded the Public Administration Medal (Bronze) on National Day 2009 by the President of the Republic of Singapore. He was also awarded the distinguished Nanyang Alumni Award in 2009 for his outstanding contributions to the university and society.
