About me
RF integrated circuit design
Research lab: Watson Research Center (Yorktown)
Brian A. Floyd received the B.S. with highest honors, M. Eng., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA in 1996, 1998, and 2001, respectively. While at the University of Florida, he held the Intersil/Semiconductor Research Corporation Graduate Fellowship and the Pittman Fellowship, working on CMOS RFIC design for on-chip wireless clock distribution. During the summers of 1994-1996, he worked for the Motorola Paging Products Group, in Boynton Beach, Florida, working in the areas of RF product development and IC design. In 2001, he joined IBM where he is presently a research staff member and manager at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, in Yorktown Heights, New York. His work at IBM has included the design and development of WCDMA receivers, silicon millimeter-wave transceivers for applications at 60 GHz and above, and frequency synthesizers for 60 GHz. Since 2007, he has managed the RF and wireless circuits and systems group at IBM Research, focusing on millimeter-wave transceiver, antenna, package, and system development. Dr. Floyd has authored or co-authored over 50 technical papers, is a member of the technical program committee of the RFIC Symposium, and a member of the technical advisory board for the Semiconductor Research Corporation integrated circuits and systems science area. He was a phase-one winner and phase-two first runner-up of the 2000 SRC Copper Design Challenge; a co-recipient of the 2007 Pat Goldberg Best Paper Award in computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics for IBM Research; and a two-time recipient of the IEEE Lewis Winner award for best paper at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2004 and 2006.
