Gianluca GIUSTOLISI

Gianluca Giustolisi was born in Catania, Italy, in 1971.

He received the Laurea degree (cum laude) in electronic engineering from University of Catania in 1995, discussing his thesis whose main topic was the design of an integrated circuit for the remote control of a sensors system. Since then he worked, as Ph.D. student, at the Dipartimento Elettrico Elettronico e Sistemistico (DEES) of the same University. In 1999 he received the Ph.D. degree discussing a thesis on the design of a CMOS Fuzzy controller based on the Switched Capacitor approach and in 2002, he joined the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e dei Sistemi (formerly DEES) as Assistant Professor.

Since 2005, he is Associate Professor at the "Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e Informatica" (DIEEI), University of Catania. Since 2003 he has been teaching courses on electronic devices and analog electronics in undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

His main research interests reflect his teaching activity in analog circuits with particular emphasis on feedback circuits, compensation techniques, voltage regulators, bandgap voltage references, low-voltage circuits and device modeling. Some of his research activity has been developed in cooperation with STMicroelectronics and INFN-LNS.

In 2006 he was local coordinator for the national research project PRIN2005 entitled "Convertitori A/D per sistemi di controllo integrati su silicio ad elevata reiezione dei disturbi dovuti a interferenze elettromagnetiche" (High EMI rejection integrated A/D converters for control systems) in cooperation with Politecnico of Turin and University of Padua.

He is author of more than 105 scientific papers in referred international journals and conferences. He is author of the italian course-book "Introduzione ai Dispositivi Elettronici", published by Franco Angeli. Since 2008 he is serving as Associate Editor of the Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers.
