BASCHIROTTO ANDREA

Andrea Baschirotto graduated in Electronic Engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Pavia in 1989. In 1994, he received the Ph.D. degree in electronics engineering from the University of Pavia. In 1994, he joined the Department of Electronics, University of Pavia, as a Researcher (Assistant Professor). In 1998, he joined the Department of Innovation Engineering, University of Lecce, Italy, as an Associate Professor. In 2007, he joined the Department of Physics, University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy, as an Associate Professor.

Andrea Baschirotto has a long-term experience in microelectronics for teaching, researching, and industrial designing. He is teaching regular Academic courses since 1997. He uses to give advanced courses in companies and research center since 1996. He uses to give short courses&tutorial at the most important conferences (ISSCC, ISCAS, PRIME).

About his research activity, he founded and directs the Microelectronics Group at University of Milan-Bicocca with collaboration with several companies and research institutions (Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Pirelli, IMEC, Univ. of Pavia, etc….). His main research interests are in the design of CMOS mixed analog/digital integrated circuits, in particular for low-power and/or high-speed signal processing. He participated to several research collaborations, also funded by National and European projects. He is/has been responsible of some National and Regional projects for the design of ASIC.  Since 1989, he also personally collaborated with several companies on the design of mixed signals ASICs, like STMicroelectronics, Mikron, ACCO, Mindspeed, Conexant, etc…. In 2010 he co-founded the start-up sparklingIC, of which he serves as CTO.

 He has authored or co-authored more than 190 papers in international journals and presentations at international conferences, 6 book chapters, and holds 40 USA patents. In addition, he has co-authored more than 120 papers within research collaborations on high-energy physics experiments.

Andrea Baschirotto has been Associate Editor IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. – Part II, and of IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. – Part I. He has been the Technical Program Committee Chairman for ESSCIRC 2002 and he was the Guest Editor for the IEEE JSSC for ESSCIRC 2003 and ESSCIRC2007. He is Associate Editor for the IEEE-JSSC since 2014. He was the General Chair of IEEE-PRIME2006, AACD2008, AACD2013, and IEEE-PRIME2013, AACD2016. He is (has been) the member of the Technical Program Committee of several international conferences (ISSCC, ESSCIRC, AACD, DATE, etc..). He is serving since several years the ESSCIRC TPC as Data Converter Subcommittee Chairman. He has been the secretary of the European Committee of ISSCC Technical Program Committee. He is an IEEE Fellow (2013). He is the founder and the Chairman of the IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society Italian Chapter.
