Giuseppe PALMISANO

Giuseppe Palmisano received the Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in 1982. From 1983 to 1991, he was a researcher at the Department of Electronics of the University of Pavia, where he was involved in CMOS and BiCMOS analog integrated circuit design. In 1992, he was visiting professor at UAM (Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana), Mexico City, Mexico, where he held a course on microelectronics for Ph.D. students. In 1993 and 2000, he joined the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Catania as Associate Professor and Full Professor, respectively, teaching microelectronics. Since 1999, he has been leading the Radio Frequency Advanced Design Center (RFADC), a joint research center supported by University of Catania and STMicroelectronics, Catania, Italy. He has supervised the design of several innovative analog integrated circuits and systems within the framework of Italian and European research projects and in collaboration with electronic industries. He is the co-author of more than 250 papers in international journals and conference proceedings, 60 international patents, and 3 books. His research interests lie in the area of analog integrated circuit design with special emphasis to RF and microwave applications. Recently, he has been facing ultra-low power sub-GHz RF front-ends and remotely-powered transceivers based on RF energy harvesting. Presently, he is involved in the radar sensor in 28-nm SOI CMOS technology and wireless power/data transfer systems with galvanic isolation both for automotive applications.
