Renuka P. Jindal received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Minnesota in 1981 with minors in Physics and Material Science. Upon graduation, he joined Bell Laboratories at Murray Hill, New Jersey. His experience at Bell Labs over 22 years bridged both technical and administrative roles. On the technical side he worked in all three areas of devices, circuits and systems. Highlights include fundamental studies of noise behavior of scaled sub-micrometer MOS devices, design of high-performance Giga-Hertz band RF integrated circuits and physics of low noise signal amplification and detection including optoelectronic integration. On the administrative side he developed and deployed a corporate-wide manufacturing test strategy in relation to contract manufacturing for Lucent Technologies. In addition, he established and taught RF IC design courses at Rutgers University. In Fall of 2002 Dr. Jindal joined University of Louisiana at Lafayette as William Hansen Hall Board of Regents Eminent Scholar Endowed Chair. His interests include an end-to-end approach to fundamental research in devices, circuits and systems in relation to modern communication systems. Dr. Jindal received the Distinguished Technical Staff Award from Bell Labs in 1989. In 1991, he was elected Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to the field of solid-state device noise theory and practice. In December 2000 he received the IEEE 3rd Millennium Medal. From 1987 to 1990, Dr. Jindal was Editor of the solid-state section of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (T-ED). He became  the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE T-ED in 1990. In 2000, he became the Vice-President of Publications for IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS). In December 2007 he was voted in as President-Elect of EDS. He is a member of the EDS Administrative Committee and Executive committee.  He also participates in ABET activities as an evaluator for Electrical Engineering programs at institutions in the United States.
