Makoto Nagata received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from Gakushuin University, Tokyo, Japan, in 1991 and 1993, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electronics engineering from Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan, in 2001. He is currently a Dean and Professor with the Graduate School of Science, Technology and Innovation, Kobe University. His research interests include design techniques targeting high-performance mixed analog, RF and digital VLSI systems with particular emphasis on power/signal/substrate integrity and electromagnetic compatibility, testing and diagnosis, three-dimensional system integration, as well as their applications for hardware security and safety, and cryogenic electronics for quantum computing. Dr. Nagata is a Senior Member of IEEE and IEICE. He has been a member of a variety of technical program committees of international conferences such as International Solid-State Circuits Conference and Symposium on VLSI Circuits.

Dr. Piya Kovintavewat received the B.Eng. summa cum laude from Thammasat University, Thailand (1994), the M.S. degree from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden (1998), and the Ph.D. degree from Georgia Institute of Technology (2004), all in Electrical Engineering.
He is currently a Professor in Electrical Engineering Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University (NPRU), Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. His main research interests include coding and signal processing as applied to digital data storage systems.
Prior to working at NPRU, he worked as an engineer at Thai Telephone and Telecommunication company (1994-1997), and as a research assistant at National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (1999), both in Thailand. He also had work experiences with Seagate Technology, Pennsylvania, USA (summers 2001, 2002, and 2004).

Kamran Eshraghian received his MEngSc. and Ph.D. from University of Adelaide, South Australia in 1977 and 1980 respectively, and 2004 was awarded Dr-Ing e.h. from University of Ulm, Germany. He is best known as one of the fathers of CMOS VLSI having influenced two generations of researchers and developers. Currently he is the executive chairman and president of iDataMap Corporation with a focus on digital healthcare and predictive medicine. In 1979 he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Adelaide. Subsequently in 1995 as Distinguished Professor and School Chair he led the School of Computer and Communication Engineering and Mathematics in Western Australia. In 2005 as Founder/President of ELabs he formulated new concepts for integration of nanoelectronics with those of bio and photon-based technologies. In 2007 he became the inaugural holder of Ferrero Family Chair in Electrical Engineering at University of California, Merced with focus on memristor driven architectures and SoS integration prior to his involvement with Korea’s World Class University program at CBNU. His current research interest includes neurologic-SW/HW within the computational neuroscience domain. Prof Eshraghian is a Fellow and life member of IEAust
