Engineering Applications of FPGAs

Esteban Tlelo-Cuautle received a B.Sc. degree from Instituto Tecnológico de Puebla México in 1993. He then received both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE) México in 1995 and 2000, respectively. From 2001 he is appointed as Tenure Professor at INAOE. He has authored or edited 13 books and more than 250 works published in book chapters, journals and conferences. He serves as Associate Editor in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers (2016-2017), Integration - the VLSI Journal (2013-2016), and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs (2014-2015). He has been Technical Program Committee member of major conferences in the areas of circuits and systems (CAS). His research interests include modeling, design and synthesis of integrated CAS, design and applications of chaotic systems, CAS optimization by heuristics, symbolic analysis and analog/RF and mixed-signal design automationtools.Jose de Jesus Rangel-Magdaleno received the B.E. degree in electronics engineering and the M.E. degree in electrical engineering on hardware signal processing from Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico in 2006 and 2008, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree in mechatronics from the Universidad Autonoma de Queretaro, Mexico in 2011. He is currently Titular Researcher at the Electronics Department at INAOE, Mexico. He has authored 20 journal articles and 21 conferences papers. He is a member of the Mexican national research system (SNI), level 1. His research interests include FPGAs, signal and image processing, instrumentation and mechatronics.Luis Gerardo de la Fraga received the B.Sc. degree from the Veracruz Institute of Technology, Mexico, in 1992, the M.Sc. degree from the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics, Mexico, in 1994, in Electrical Engineering; and the Ph.D. degree from the Autonomous University ofMadrid, Spain, in 1998 in Informatics Engineering. From 1998 to 2000, he was Assistant Professor in the Autonomous University of Morelos State, in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Since 2000, he is working as researcher scientist at Cinvestav in the Computer Science Department in Mexico City. His research interests include computer graphics, computer vision, image processing, optimization, network security, and he is very enthusiastic of open-source software and GNU/Linux systems. He has authored more tan fifty technical articles published in journals, book chapters, and international conference proceedings. Dr. De la Fraga is member of IEEE and ACM since 2005.
