Prof. Ezz I. El-Masry - Professor
B.Sc., M.Sc. (Alexandria), Ph.D. (Man.), P.Eng.
Prof. Ezz El-Masry has made significant contributions in the area of analog integrated circuits (IC). His outstanding and pioneering contributions in the development and design of switched-capacitor (SC) filters has been recognized by many researchers and engineers working in this area, worldwide. His biquadratic state-space formulations have led to systematic techniques for the design of low-sensitivity multiple-loop feedback strays-insensitive SC filters. With his approach, the design of CMOS SC filters becomes a simple and systematic task for engineers. These filters can be fabricated economically and accurately on a single IC chip. SC filters are used extensively in the electronics industries; particularly in communication systems. Dr. El-Masry’s pioneering work on
the strays-insensitive SC filters has laid the ground work and his publications in this area have been cited by many researchers and engineers. He has been awarded the prestigious Myril B. Reed Best Paper Awards twice in a row for work in this field. In recognition of his research work in this area, he became a member and principal investigator of the Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence in Microelectronics (MICRONET) since it has been established 1989. He has also introduced ingenious methods for the VLSI realizations of Artificial Neural Networks using pulse-width modulation techniques that implement SC and switched-current circuits. Dr. El-Masry has recently developed new technique for SC double sampling delta-sigma modulators. His recent contributions to the design of low-voltage, low-power, high-performance CMOS mixed signal IC for variety of applications that extends in frequency to RF, is also recognized worldwide.
