Alan Mantooth Recieves Faculty Research Professor Award for 2011
Distinguished Professor of electrical engineering and the Twenty-First Century Chair in Mixed-Signal IC Design and CAD in the College of Engineering, is the recipient for research. Mantooth is recognized internationally as one of the world’s leading engineers in the development of modeling and simulation software specifically for use in power electronics circuit design, and the first to develop many of the models and techniques in commercial use today. A holder of multiple patents, he has led the start-up of two companies Lynguent Inc. and Arkansas Power Electronics International Inc. Together, these companies employ more than 35 engineers in Fayetteville as well as sales and administrative staff in the United States, Korea and Japan.
He has spearheaded teams leading to the formation of three research centers, two of them sponsored by the National Science Foundation and private companies like Texas Instruments and Toyota Technology Research Center. He also helped establish the National Center for Reliable Electric Power Transmissions at the university in 2005 and serves as its director. In addition to earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from the University of Arkansas, Mantooth received a doctoral degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1990.
