The Henry Samueli "Turing" Endowed Chair in Computer Systems Design, Professor

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Office: EH 3428
Lab: AIRB 2008

Professor (Joint Appointment)

Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science

Dr. Gajski, a leader in the areas of embedded systems, design and specification languages, headed the research team that created SpecC language in 1997. Because the language is a simple extension of the programming language C, it has been used worldwide by hardware designers and software programmers for embedded systems. Over 30 companies and 30 universities created the SpecC Technology Open Consortium (www.specc.org) to standardize SpecC language and technology. Gajski directs the UCI Center for Embedded Computer Systems, with a research mission to incorporate embedded systems into automotive, communications, and medical applications. He has authored numerous textbooks, including Principles of Digital Design (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1997).

He currently holds the Henry Samueli "Turing" Endowed Chair in Computer System Design.

Professor (Joint Appointment)

Biomedical Engineering

Dr. Shkel is interested in the design and advanced control of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for biomedical, communication and inertial navigation applications.

His research interests center on the development of high-precision micro-machined gyroscopes; MEMS-enhanced optical systems, tools and prosthetic appliances; and the integration of electro-mechanical and machine-information systems.

Dr. Shkel's current research activities include the development of MEMS-based health monitoring systems, disposable diagnostic devices, and neurological vestibular prosthetic implants. He is developing tunable micro-components for ultra high speed fiber-optic communication networks and for monitoring of civil structures. Dr. Shkel also is building high-precision inertial sensors on-a-chip (gyros, accelerometers) for personal navigation and for neurological vestibular prosthetics, and studying micro-mechatronics, which involves the integration of electromechanical and machine-information systems.
