Ed Lipiansky

Ed Lipiansky received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the National University of La Plata, Argentina (UNLP). He performed graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, obtaining a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering. Mr. Lipiansky has 25 years of industry experience, having worked at Varian Associates, Tandem Computer, Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems, and Google. He is author or co-author of six patents; four have been issued by the U.S. Patent Office, and two more have been submitted. Mr. Lipiansky’s key interests are: maintenance and diagnostics subsystems for servers, networking line cards, analog and digital electronic design for medical instrumentation and computers, and power engineering.

Mr. Lipiansky wrote "Electrical, Electronics and Digital Hardware Essentials for Scientists and Engineers", which will be published by John Wiley & Sons and the IEEE Press Series on Microelectronic Systems, in late 2012. This textbook covers analog and digital basics of an electrical engineering curriculum. Provides many examples and compares circuit analysis methods pro’s and con’s which enable the reader to obtain a better understanding of circuit theory.

For about 20 years, Ed taught a variety of courses such as circuit analysis, digital design, operational amplifiers, and microprocessor interfacing techniques at the University of California Berkeley and Santa Cruz Extensions. Mr. Lipiansky lives with his family in the San Francisco Bay area in northern California.
