Jacob K. White

Jacob K. White at MIT

Jacob K. White is the Cecil H. Green Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1] He researches fast numerical algorithms for simulation, particularly the simulation of circuits. His work on the FASTCAP[2][3] program for three-dimensional capacitance calculation and FASTHENRY,[4] a program for three-dimensional inductance calculations, is highly cited. He has also done extensive work on steady-state simulation of analog and microwave circuits.[5][6] White was a significant early contributor to the development of Spectre and SpectreRF.[7]

White received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1985, working on waveform relaxation[8] under advising professor Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli. He worked for IBM prior to joining the MIT faculty.[9]

White was made a Fellow of the IEEE in 2008 "for contributions to simulation tools for RF circuits, electrical interconnects, and micro machined devices."[10]
