S. Kuh, Linear and Nonlinear Circuits [14] with his most
kind note shown above. I am his former student, but he
said "my friend Steve" as shown in Fig. 5. I was much
honored by his kindness and was reminded of the day
of leaving Berkeley in 1975. Leon said then, "From now
on you can call me 'Leon'." Leon, his wife Diana and their
four daughters have become our bigger family. My personal wish has been to be able to help my own students
and colleagues in a way similar to what Leon has done
throughout his career.
Sung-Mo "Steve" Kang is a Distinguished
Chair Professor of the Jack Baskin School
of Engineering, UC Santa Cruz, and Chancellor Emeritus of UC Merced and President Emeritus of KAIST. He received his
B.S. degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, New Jersey in 1970, the M.S. degree from
the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1972, and the
Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley
in 1975, all in electrical engineering. From 1995 to 2000, he
was Department Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(UIUC). Prior to UIUC, he was Supervisor of High-End Microprocessor Design, responsible for development of
world's premier full-CMOS 32b BELLMAC-32, at AT&T Bell
Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, and also served as a faculty
member of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ. From
2001 to 2007, he was Dean of the Jack Baskin School of
Engineering and Professor of Electrical Engineering at UC
Santa Cruz. From 2007 to 2011 he served as Chancellor and
Professor of Engineering at UC Merced, and from 2013 to
2017 the 15th President of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He holds 16 patents, published over 450 papers, and co-authored ten books. Dr.
Kang has served on the editorial boards and multiple
times as a guest editor of the Proceedings of the IEEE and
the International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications,
also on the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on
Circuits and Systems and the Circuits, Signals and Systems,
and as the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems. He was President of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society in
1991. Dr. Kang is a recipient of the IEEE CAS Society Meritorious Service Award in 1994, the Humboldt Research
Award for Senior U.S. Scientists in 1996, the IEEE Graduate
Teaching Technical Field Award in 1996, the IEEE CAS Society Technical Achievement Award in 1997, the Korean
Broadcasting System Award in Industrial Technology in
1998, the Semiconductor Research Corporation Technical
Excellence Award in 1999, the IEEE CAS Society Golden Jubilee Medal in 1999, the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in
2000, the Outstanding Alumnus Award in Electrical EnsEcOnd quartEr 2018

gineering and Computer Science, UC Berkeley in 2001, the
Mac E. Van Valkenburg Society Award of IEEE Circuits and
Systems Society in 2005, the Chang-Lin Tien Education
Leadership Award in 2007, the International Society for
Quality Electronic Design Quality Award in 2008, the Korean-American Leadership Award in 2008, the Deokmyeong
Engineering Award of the Korea Academy of Science and
Technology in 2010, and the IEEE CAS Society John Choma
Education Award in 2015. He was inducted into the Silicon
Valley Engineering Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Pinnacle
Society of Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2013 and received an Honorary Doctorate in Engineering and Science
from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2014. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of Karlsruhe in 1997, the
Technical University of Munich in 1998, KAIST in 2003, and
the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne in
1989, 2006 and 2012. Dr. Kang is a Fellow of the IEEE, the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and the
American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS). He has served on the Presidential Advisory Council on Science and Technology of the Republic of Korea,
the international advisory board of the Ministry of Education of Singapore, the executive board of directors of the
King Abdullah International Medical Center, Saudi Arabia
and on the Board of Trustees of the Hamad Bin Khalifa
University, Qatar. His research interest includes modeling
and simulation of semiconductor devices; memristors and
resistance-state memories, low-power VLSI design, nanobioelectronic circuits, and neuromorphic computing.
