JAEGER TO EDIT IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS

      AUBURN -- Richard Jaeger, a Distinguished University Professor 
and director of the Alabama Microelectronics Science and Technology 
Center at Auburn University, has been named editor of a prestigious 
academic journal.
      Jaeger, a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, 
has been appointed to a three-year term as editor of the IEEE Journal of 
Solid-State Circuits. 
       Established in 1966 during the genesis of the integrated circuit 
industry, the journal has become the premier international forum for 
presentations on the latest designs and uses of solid-state electronic 
circuits and integrated circuit chips.
      The journal is sponsored by the Solid-State Circuits Council of 
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
      Jaeger is a former president of the group as well as an IEEE 
fellow. With a subscription base of approximately 12,000, the journal is 
widely read by engineers and researchers active in the global integrated 
circuit industry.
       "Bringing the leadership of this journal to the Auburn campus 
provides the university with wide visibility and continues to enhance the 
reputation of the Department of Electrical Engineering," said AU 
Engineering Dean William Walker. "Dr. Jaeger's stature in the field of 
microelectronics makes him eminently qualified to assume this position."
