Dr. Yoshiyasu Takefuji is a tenured associate professor on faculty of environmental information at Keio University since April 1992 and also on tenured faculty of Electrical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University since 1988. Before joining Case, he taught at the University of South Florida for two years and the University of South Carolina for three years. He received his BS (1978), MS (1980), and Ph.D. (1983) from Electrical Engineering from Keio University under the supervision of Professor Hideo Aiso. His research interests focus on neural network parallel computing for solving real-world problems. He is interested in VLSI applications and silicon architecture. He received the National Science Foundation/Research Initiation Award in 1989 and received the distinct service award from IEEE Trans. on Neural Networks in 1992 and has been an NSF advisory panelist. He has received the TEPCO research award in 1993-1995 and the Takayanagi research award in 1995. He has also received the Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology research award in 1993-1995. He has received the Information Processing Society of Japan's best paper award in 1980. He authors a book entitled Neural Network Parallel Computing from Kluwer Publishers in January 1992 and coauthored four books Digital Circuits (Ohm-Sha Publishers) in 1984, Neuro Computing (Baifukan Publishers) in 1992, Neural Networks in Design and Manufacturing from World Scientific Publishers in 1993, and Neural Computing For Optimization and Combinatorics from World Scientific Publishers in 1994. He is currently an associate editor of International Journal of Multimedia Tools and Applications from KAP. He was an Editor of the Journal of Neural Network Computing, an associate editor of IEEE Trans. on Neural Networks, Neural/parallel/scientific computations, and Neurocomputing, and a guest editor of Journal Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing in the special issue on analog VLSI neural networks and also guest editor of Neurocomputing in the special issue on neural network optimization. He has published more than 70 journal papers and more than 50 conference papers. He is included in who's who in America, who's who in the Midwest, who's who in science and engineering, men of achievement.
