Circuit Design: Amplification and Speed Optimization

Anant Agarwal is the Chief Platform Officer of 2U and the founder of edX, where he pioneered the first course on circuits and electronics from MIT, attracting 155,000 students globally. He is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and has served as director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). A successful entrepreneur, Anant co-founded several companies, including Tilera Corporation, known for its multicore processor technology.

Gerald Sussman is a prominent professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), renowned for his contributions to computer science education and artificial intelligence research. He co-authored the influential textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, widely regarded as one of the top textbooks in the field. Sussman is also the creator of Scheme, a widely-used teaching language that emphasizes functional programming.

Piotr Mitros served as the Chief Scientist at edX and is a Research Scientist at MIT, focusing on applying control systems techniques to optimize the learning process. He played a pivotal role in proposing the concept of MITx/edX to MIT in 2011 and has been instrumental in developing educational models that enhance access to quality education globally.

Christopher J. Terman is a Senior Lecturer Emeritus in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, where he has made significant contributions to computer science education and digital systems design over four decades. His primary focus has been teaching MIT's foundational course 6.004 Computation Structures, which he has continuously refined and innovated since 1995.

Bonnie Kit Ying Lam is a distinguished researcher in electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, specializing in energy-efficient digital systems. She completed her undergraduate studies in Engineering Physics with an Electrical Engineering focus at the University of British Columbia in 2008, followed by her S.M. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2010. As a PhD student in MIT's Energy-Efficient Integrated Circuits and Systems Group under Professor Anantha P. Chandrakasan, her research focuses on developing digital design methodologies for low-power applications, particularly in ultrasound imaging systems. Her work has contributed significantly to energy scalable systems for 2D and 3D ultrasound beamforming, with notable publications including research on digital ultrasound beamformer systems with image quality control. Beyond her research, Lam has also contributed to MIT's educational initiatives, serving as an instructor for the prestigious MITx course "Circuits and Electronics 1: Basic Circuit Analysis," which has been recognized among Class Central's best online courses of all time.
