Professor Jacob K. White is an Associate Director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics and the principal investigator of the RLE Computational Prototyping Group at MIT. He is a pioneer in numerical methods, particularly in computational prototyping tools and techniques for integrated circuit interconnect, circuit packaging, and micromachined devices. Professor White's current research interests include numerical algorithms for problems in circuit, interconnect, and microelectromechanical system design and the application of these techniques to problems in biology and medicine. Jacob White received his BS and MS degrees electrical engineering and computer science from MIT in 1980 and1983 and his doctorate in 1985 from the University of California, Berkeley. After working at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, he joined the MIT faculty in 1987 where he was promoted to full professor in 1996 and as an Associate Director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics in 2001.
