di Torino. Among his current research interests are Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip, Chip Multiprocessors with
specialized accelerators, and Networks-on-Chip. He is
also currently interested in the design of circuits, systems, and platforms for biomedical applications. His past
work focused mostly on latency-insensitive design of Systems-on-Chip (SoC) and micro-architectures. In 2010-2011
he visited the system-level design research group of Prof.
Luca Carloni in the department of Computer Science at
Columbia University, where he worked on the design of
SoC platforms with energy- efficient specialized accelerators. In 2017 he was a visiting professor in the department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National
University of Singapore, working with Prof. Massimo Alioto on the design of energy-efficient accelerators for Deep
Neural Networks. He regularly serves as a reviewer for
peer-reviewed journals and in the technical program committee of international conferences.
Mehdi Azadmehr received his master
and Ph.D. degree in Nanoelectronics
from the University of Oslo, Norway, in
2009. His Ph.D. work aimed at designing
bi-directional circuit for use as interface for resonating sensors. He then
worked as assistant professor in 2 years at Vestfold University College and is now employed as associate professor at University College of Southeast Norway. Main research areas are low power analog electronic design
with focus on interface circuits.
Yngvar Berg received the Ph.D. degree
from the department of Informatics at
the university of Oslo in 1992. He received the master and bachelor degree
at the same department in 1988 and
1985 respectively.
Professor Yngvar Berg has published more than
220 papers in micro- and nanoelectronics, both analog
and digital circuit design. He has been focusing on lowvoltage and low-power CMOS design using floating gate
techniques. He is a reviewer for a number of IEEE conferences and journals. Professor Berg has chaired the IEEE
multiple valued logic conference,
Yngvar Berg has served as an associative professor
at the department of informatics at the university of
Oslo from 1992 to 1999, and as a professor from 2000 to
2014. He was a research leader for the nanoelectronics
research group at the University of Oslo from 2001 to
2004. From 2014 to present professor Berg has served
as the head of the Micro- and Nanotechnology system
department at the university college of southeast Norway. He is the leader of the Ph.D. program in applied
