Christopher Siu is a faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Prior to joining BCIT, he worked in industry for 15 years in the United States, Canada, and Asia. He specialized in the design of high speed analog integrated circuits, and worked for companies such as PMC-Sierra and Philips Semiconductors. His research interests include analog/radio frequency microelectronics and wireless communication. He holds 3 U.S. patents, and received a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1994. Krzysztof (Kris) Iniewski (kris.iniewski@gmail.com) is managing R&D development activities at Redlen Technologies Inc., a detector company based in British Columbia, Canada. During his 12 years at Redlen, he managed development of highly integrated CZT detector products in medical imaging and security applications. Prior to Redlen, Kris held various management and academic positions at PMC-Sierra, University of Alberta, SFU, UBC and University of Toronto. He has published over 150 research papers in international journals and conferences. Dr. Iniewski holds 18 international patents granted in USA, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. He wrote and edited several books for Wiley, Cambridge University Press, Mc-Graw Hill, CRC Press and Springer. He is a frequently invited speaker and has consulted for multiple organizations internationally. He received his Ph.D. degree in electronics (honors) from the Warsaw University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland) in 1988.
