James Barby, PEng

James Barby is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

His research interests include mixed-mode and behavioural models of devices, complex analog or mixed-mode circuits, simulation of switched networks for communications and power electronics, analysis methods and models for digital, analog and mixed-signal VLSI systems, and optimal fit numerical approximations of transistor models.

In addition to his research work, Dr. Barby has written journals for IEEE and annual conference papers for the International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.
