Ali M. Niknejad obtained his Ph.D. in 2000 from the University of California, Berkeley, where he is currently an assistant professor in the EECS department. He is a faculty director at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) and the co-director of the BSIM Research Group. Before his appointment at Berkeley, Niknejad worked for several years for Silicon Laboratories designing CMOS ICs. He has also served as an associate editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, and was a co-recipient of the Jack Raper Award for Outstanding Technology Directions Paper at ISSCC 2004.

"An instant attraction that sold out within hours in 2007, [this book] remained the number-one seller in 2008 for Cambridge University Press....'[This book] meets a clear need, and it is written by a very well known authority in high-speed circuit design,' [Dr. Julie Lancashire, Engineering Publisher,] said. 'The book helps circuit engineers understand electromagnetics in the context of circuits....'" -Katherine Olstein, IEEE SSCS News
