José E. Schutt-Ainé (S’86–M’86–SM’98–F’07) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA, in 1981, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC), Urbana, IL, USA, in 1984 and 1988, respectively.

From 1981 to 1983, he was with the Hewlett Packard Technology Center, Santa Rosa, CA, USA, as an Application Engineer, where he was involved in research on microwave transistors and high-frequency circuits. In 1988, he joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, UIUC, as a member of Electromagnetics and Coordinated Science Laboratories, where he is currently involved in research on signal integrity for high-speed digital and high-frequency applications. He is a consultant for several corporations. His current research interests include the study of signal integrity and the generation of computer-aided design tools for high-speed digital systems.

Dr. Schutt-Ainé was a recipient of several research awards, including the 1991 National Science Foundation (NSF) MRI Award, the NASA Faculty Award for Research, in 1992, the NSF MCAA Award, in 1996, and the UIUC-NCSA Faculty Fellow Award, in 2000. He has also received several publication awards, including the IEEE Electrical Design of Advanced Packaging and Systems Symposium-2013 Best Paper Award and the IEEE Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging-2014 Best Paper Award. He is currently serving as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology.
