David Wentzloff

Biography

David D. Wentzloff received the B.S.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1999, and the S.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 2002 and 2007, respectively. In the summer of 2004, he worked in the Portland Technology Development group at Intel in Hillsboro, OR. Since August, 2007 he has been with the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is the recipient of the 2002 MIT Masterworks Award, 2004 Analog Devices Distinguished Scholar Award, 2009 DARPA Young Faculty Award, the 2009-2010 Eta Kappa Nu Professor of the Year Award, and the 2011 DAC/ISSCC Student Design Contest Award. He has served on the technical program committee for ICUWB 2008-2010 and ISLPED 2011-2012, and as a guest editor for the IEEE T-MTT, the IEEE Communications Magazine, and the Elsevier Journal of Signal Processing: Image Communication. He is a member of IEEE, IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society, and Tau Beta Pi.

Research

David's research interests are in integrated circuit design for adaptable wireless communication systems for both high-performance and energy constrained applications.  This includes integrated power conversion, power management techniques, scalable RF, analog, and mixed-signal circuit design, cognitive radios, and networking.  He will pursue these areas through three main directions: 1) driving innovation and performance on the CMOS technology roadmap, 2) wireless systems utilizing new frequency bands such as 60GHz, UWB, and sub-900MHz TV bands, and 3) investigating new fields for applying integrated circuits to expand the pervasiveness of wireless communication.
