Zvonko Vranesic received his B.A.Sc., M.A.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees, all in Electrical Engineering, from the University of Toronto. From 1963 to 1965 he worked as a design engineer with the Northern Electric Co. Ltd. in Bramalea, Ontario. In 1968 he joined the University of Toronto, where he is now a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. During the 1978-79 academic year, he was a Senior Visitor at the University of Cambridge, England, and during 1984-85 he was at the University of Paris, 6. From 1995 to 2000 he served as Chair of the Division of Engineering Science at the University of Toronto. He is a coauthor of four other books: Computer Organization and Embedded Systems, 6th ed.; Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design, 3rd ed.; Microcomputer Structures; and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. In 1990, he received the Wighton Fellowship for "innovative and distinctive contributions to undergraduate laboratory instruction." In 2004, he received the Faculty Teaching Award from the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. He has represented Canada in numerous chess competitions. He holds the title of International Master.
