Profile

Tsutomu Yoshimura received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from the University of Tokyo in 1989 and 1991, respectively and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2005 from Hiroshima University. From 1993 to 2007, he was with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Itami, Japan, where he contributed toward the design of system LSIs for optical communication systems. Since 2007, he has been an Associate Professor and also a Professor of electrical and electronic systems engineering with Osaka Institute of Technology, Osaka, Japan. His interests are the design of high-speed analog and digital circuits, including phase-locked loop circuits. He is also interested in investigating the interference and coupling issues between closed-loop systems. He received the 2007 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Darlington Best Paper Award.
