Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Parag K. Lala is the Cary and Lois Patterson Chair and Founding Chairman of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University, Texarkana; he was also the interim Chair of the Computer and Information Science Department at A&M, Texarkana for a year. Before his current position, he was the Thomas Mullins Chair Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He received his M.Sc.(Eng.) degree from the Kings College, University of London, and his Ph.D. from The City University of London. His current research interests are in online testable logic, biologically inspired digital system design, fault-tolerant computing, and hardware-based molecular sequence matching. He has supervised more than 30 M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses and authored or coauthored over 135 papers. He is the author of six books: Fault-Tolerant and Fault-Testable Hardware Design (Prentice-Hall, 1985), Digital System Design Using PLDs (Prentice-Hall, 1990), Practical Digital Logic Design and Testing (Prentice-Hall, 1996), Digital Circuit Testing and Testability (Academic Press, 1997), and Self-Checking, Fault-Tolerant Digital Design (Morgan-Kaufmann, 2001), and Principles of Modern Digital Design (John Wiley and Sons, 2007). He was selected Outstanding Educator in 1994 by the Central North Carolina section of the IEEE. In 1998 he was awarded a D.Sc.(Eng.) degree in electrical engineering by the University of London for contributions to digital hardware design and testing. He was made a Fellow of the IEEE in 2001 for contribution to the development of self-checking logic and associated checker design. He is also a fellow of the IET (Institute of Science and Technology) in the United Kingdom.
