Charlie Sodini

Charles G. Sodini received the B.S.E.E. degree from Purdue University, and the M.S.E.E. and the Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Sodini began his career as a member of the technical staff at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, where he worked on the design of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). He joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in 1983, where he is currently the LeBel Professor of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are focused on medical electronic systems for monitoring and imaging. These systems require state-of-the-art mixed-signal integrated circuits and systems with extremely low energy dissipation. He is the co-founder of the Medical Electronic Device Realization Center at MIT.

Along with Prof. Roger T. Howe, he is a co-author of an undergraduate text on integrated circuits and devices entitled “Microelectronics: An Integrated Approach.” He also studied the Hong Kong/South China electronics industry from 1996-97 and has continued to study the globalization of the electronics industry.
