Alex Yakovlev (Russian: Алекса́ндр Влади́мирович Я́ковлев) (born 9 April 1956)[2] is a Russian-British computer scientist, hardware engineer, and in the School of Engineering at Newcastle University[3] in the United Kingdom. He is the head of the university's MicroSystems Research Group,[4] and also leads the Asynchronous Research Group.[5] He is best known for his research into asynchronous circuits,[6][7][8] low-power electronics[9][10] and machine learning.[11][12] He is credited with co-inventing Signal Transition Graphs.[13]

Early Years & Education

[edit]

Yakovlev was born in Leningrad and attended High School No.38.[14] He studied at Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute (Russian: Ленинградский Электротехнический Институт, now Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University), where he was mentored by Professor Victor Varshavsky.[15]

Scientific Career

[edit]

Yakovlev began his academic career on the faculty of his alma mater, Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute, before emigrating from the Soviet Union in 1990. moving to Newcastle University in 1991.[14]

His work on Petri nets,[16][17][18] alongside[19][15][20][21]

In 2006, Yakovlev [22]

[14][23][24][25][26][27] By 2025, he [28]

In 2012–13, he was named a Dream Fellow by the EPSRC, conducting research on energy-modulated computing.[29] In 2015, Yakovlev was elected a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET) and registered as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). He has been elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (FIEEE),[30] and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng). In 2018, he received an IET Achievement Medal for contributions to electronic engineering.[31]
