Welcome to the Winter 2021 Issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine [Editor?s Note

Abstract

This first 2021 issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine marks the end of Jacob (Jake) Baker’s tenure as editorin- chief (EiC). During his six years as EiC, Baker was instrumental in publishing high-quality content in the IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society (SSCS) field of interest and increasing the magazine’s readership by more than 50%. Frequent readers of the magazine will also notice that Marcel Pelgrom has decided to step down as associate editor after contributing 33 columns. We would like to thank Jake and Marcel for their contributions and dedication to the magazine. I have learned a great deal about the magazine shadowing Jake during the last year, and I expect a smooth transition as I take over his position. Although Marcel's column will be missed, his departure opens an opportunity to hear new voices from those willing to take over the currently vacant associate editor positions.
