Eby G. Friedman worked at the Hughes Aircraft Company for a dozen years developing a large variety of integrated circuits for U.S. military and commercial applications. He  is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Rochester and  a Visiting Professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. He has authored more than 600 papers and book chapters, 29 patents, and 22 books in the fields of high speed and low power CMOS design techniques, 3-D design methodologies, high speed interconnect, superconductive circuits, and synchronous clock and power distribution networks with application to high speed portable processors, low power wireless communications, and data centers.

Cryogenic Microelectronic Systems for Ultra-Low Energy and Enhanced Performance explores cryogenic computers to achieve faster operation and lower energy use. As computer components become smaller and generate more heat, traditional cooling methods struggle to keep up. By operating at cryogenic temperatures, these limitations can be overcome—reducing heat, improving performance, and opening new possibilities for important applications such as large scale data centers and quantum computers. The approaches and physical models discussed in this book are valuable since these concepts offer a practical methodology for increasing computational computing power without being limited by heat and power dissipation.
