Steve Long, Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara

Steve Long received his BS degree in Engineering Physics from UC Berkeley and MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University. He has been a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Santa Barbara since 1981. The central theme of his current research projects is rather practical: use unconventional digital and analog circuits, high performance devices and fabrication technologies to address significant problems in high speed electronics such as low power IC interconnections, very high speed digital ICs, and microwave analog integrated circuits for RF communications. He teaches classes on communication electronics and high speed digital IC design.

Prior to joining UCSB, from 1974 to 1977 he was a Senior Engineer at Varian Associates, Palo Alto, CA. From 1978 to 1981 he was employed by Rockwell International Science Center, Thousand Oaks, CA as a member of the technical staff.

Dr. Long received the IEEE Microwave Applications Award in 1978 for development of InP millimeter wave devices. In 1988 he was a research visitor at GEC Hirst Research Centre, U.K. In 1994 he was a Fulbright research visitor at the Signal Processing Laboratory, Tampere University of Technology, Finland, and a Visiting Professor at the Electromagnetics Institute, Technical University of Denmark. He is a senior member of the IEEE and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
