Skyworks endows academic chair at UCSD

Professor Peter Asbeck is the first holder of the Skyworks Chair in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits at UCSD.
Skyworks Solutions has established its first endowed academic chair at the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The endowment creates opportunities for students and faculty to work collaboratively with Skyworks engineers to develop new semiconductor technology. It also enhances the company s access to university-generated intellectual property and technical research.

"UCSD has an outstanding track record of generating cutting-edge semiconductor research and developing the brightest young engineers," said David Aldrich, Skyworks president and CEO. "This endowment is our way of helping the university continue that level of excellence."

The inaugural recipient of the chair is award-winning professor Peter Asbeck, a pioneer in the field of high-speed integrated circuits using advanced materials.

"Leaders across business and academia recognize Professor Asbeck as an authority on the design and development of integrated circuits and power amplifiers using GaAs, HBT and other high-speed technologies," Aldrich said. "We are delighted that he has been named the first holder of the Skyworks Chair."

Asbeck joined the Jacobs School s Electrical and Engineering faculty in 1991 after working for 13 years at the Rockwell International Science Center. In August 2002, Asbeck won the 2003 IEEE David Sarnoff Award, which is awarded each year for outstanding achievement in the field of electronics.

The Skyworks Chair in High Speed Semiconductor Devices and Circuits is the first of 11 new chairs at the School endowed by corporate partners through Cal (IT)-Squared, a research partnership that teams UCSD and the University of California Irvine with leading California technology companies.
