Antonio Liscidini (S'99-M'06SM'13) was born in Tirano, Italy, in
1977. He received the Laurea degree
(summa cum laude) and PhD. in electrical engineering from the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in 2002 and
2006 respectively. He was a summer
intern at National Semiconductors in
2003 (Santa Clara, CA) studying poly
phase filters and CMOS LNAs. From
2008 to 2012 he was assistant professor at the University of Pavia and
consultant for Marvell Semiconductors in the area of integrated circuit
design. Since December 2012 he is
assistant professor in the Edward S.
Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical &
Computer Engineering of the University of Toronto. His research interests
are in the implementations of transceivers and frequency synthesizers for cellular and ultra low power
applications.
He received the Best Student Paper
Award at IEEE 2005 Symposium on
VLSI Circuits and the Best Invited Paper
Award at 2011 IEEE Custom Integrated
Circuit Conference. From 2008 to 2011,
he served as Associate Editor of the IEEE
Transactions on Circuits and Systems II:
Express Briefs and he served as Guest
Editor of IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits for the special issue on ESSCIRC

conference July 2013. Currently he is
member of the TPC of the European
Solid State Circuit Conference (ESSCIRC)
and of the International Solid State Circuit Conference (ISSCC).
Angelo Nagari (IEEE membership: S'92-M'96-SM'14) was born in
Cilavegna, Pavia, Italy, in 1968. He
received the degree in electronic
engineering (summa cum laude) from
the University of Pavia, Italy, in 1993.
He has been with ST-Microelectronics, Milan, Italy, since 1993,
where he was involved as a Design
Engineer in the analog and mixed IC
development for cellular telecommunications. His main research interests were in the fields of Nyquist and
Oversampled converters for Systemon-Chip in Audio, RF and Auxiliary
applications.
In February 2008 he was IP design
manager in ST-Ericsson, Grenoble,
France. His main role is to define mixedsignal architecture and partitioning for
mobile phones platforms and provides
IP design on Audio and Power Management fields. In 2011 he has been
appointed "Analog & System IP" Core
Competence responsible for ST-Ericsson analog system development area,
having as a main objective to drive all
related R&D development.
In August 2013 he joined STMicroelectronics as Design Director
of Analog & Mixed-Signal development center in Grenoble belonging
to Analog-MEMS-Sensor group.
He's reviewer of several IEEE journals (TCAS, JSSC) and permanent
member of ESSCIRC TPC. Within STMicroelectronics and ST-Ericsson he
holds several patents and he provides lectures on many institutes.
Francesco Rezzi received his PhD
in microelectronics from the University of Pavia in 1995 under the supervision of Prof. Castello.
After a short period as a researcher
at the University he then joined as a
designer the storage group of STM in
San Jose (CA) working on HDD read
channel.
In 1999 he moved to Maxim Integrated Product as Senior Designer
working mainly on Power Management.

Since 2005 he's in Marvell where he
covered several managing roles and
he's now Associate VP of Engineering
leading a large R&D group based in
Pavia Italy. The group is focusing on
Power Management and RF design for
mobile application, high speed ADC/
DAC and analog front-end for digital
entertainment and printing as well as
ultra high speed serial links for networking application. He's author of
several patents and publications.
Francesco Svelto (S'93-M'98-
SM'11-F'13) received the Laurea and
Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Università di Pavia, Pavia,
Italy, in 1991 and 1995, respectively.
During 1995-1997, he held an industry grant for research in RF CMOS.
In 1997 he was appointed Assistant
Professor at Università di Bergamo,
and in 2000, he joined Università di
Pavia, where he is now Professor. He
has been technical advisor of RFDomus Inc., a start-up he cofounded in
2002 dedicated to highly integrated
GPS receivers. After merging with Glonav Inc. (Ireland), RFDomus has been
acquired by NXP Semiconductors in
2007. Since 2006 he has been the Director of a Scientific Laboratory, joint
between Università di Pavia and STMicrolectronics, dedicated to research
in Microelectronics, with emphasis to
mm-wave systems for wireless communications, high-speed serial links
and ultrasound electronics for medical diagnostic.
Dr. Svelto has been a Member of
the technical program committee of
the International Solid State Circuits
Conference, the Custom Integrated
Circuits Conference, and the Bipolar/
BiCMOS Circuits Technology Meeting. He is presently a Member of the
technical program committee of IEEE
European Solid State Circuits Conference. He served as Associate Editor of
the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits
(2003-2007), and as Guest Editor for
a special issue on the same journal
in March 2003. He is co'recipient of
the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits
2003 Best Paper Award.
