内库加（Farzad Nekoogar） is Director of Design Services at SiliconDesigns International. Farzad has extensive practical expe-rience verifying timing ofASICs， FPGAs， and systems-on-a-chip. He is the author of Digital Control Using Digital Sig-nal Processing， published by Prentice Hall PTR. He has lec-tured at the University of California at Berkeley on signalprocessing， control systems， and theoretical physics （specifi-cally， Superstring Theory）. He is currently a lecturer at theDepartment of Applied Science at the University of Califor-nia at Davis. 　　Farzad， seen here in December 1992 at Stanford University， with Sir Roger Penrose.Farzad writes： "In this book we try to solve timing issues related to design of micro-chips. I am honored to be pictured here with Sir Roger Penrose， one of the most bril-liant scientists of all time， who has authored some of the most complex theories aboutspace-time， contributing a lot to our understanding of the universe."
