Dr. Amnon Aliphas | CEO

Global Technology Conferences was founded by Dr. Amnon Aliphas in January of 2002 as a conference management company for the high-tech industry. In 2003, he launched GSPx as an industry Signal Processing Conference and trade show. Dr. Aliphas launched in 2005 TV2Mobile an event dedicated to the mobile TV industry.

In 1990, Dr. Aliphas seeing the need for an industry event for the Signal Processing Community founded the International Conference on Signal Processing Applications and Technology (ICSPAT) and DSP World Expo. In 1996 DSP World was sold to Miller-Freeman (United Business Media).

It was while organizing DSP World that Dr. Aliphas recognized the Internet as the ideal medium to help the electronics engineering community keep pace with their rapidly changing industry through on-line education and information. Dr. Aliphas, founded TechOnLine in 1994 as an on-line information and educational resource for the electronics engineering community and developed the "Virtual Lab" for which he holds a US Patent. The Virtual Lab is widely used by the industry. TechOnLine was acquired in 2005 by CMP (United Business Media).

Using his extensive background and expertise in electronics engineering, Dr. Aliphas built strong, credible organizations that serve the needs of the electronics community. He has also authored many papers on digital signal processing and other related areas.

Dr. Aliphas taught at Boston University and worked at Draper Laboratory, where he worked on fault tolerant computing and was the Thesis advisor for MIT graduate students. He was Principal Signal Processing Scientist for Kurzweil Applied Intelligence and Wang Laboratories (1982-1986).

Aliphas received a Ph.D. and M.S. in electrical engineering from Stanford University. He earned a B.S. degree from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.
