PhD student · Started in 2023
Current research focuses on ultra-low-power analog IC design, with a particular emphasis on digital-based and inverter-based amplifier architectures. It explores novel circuit topologies that improve energy efficiency while overcoming the limitations imposed by advanced CMOS technologies, including reduced intrinsic gain and supply voltages. Particular attention is devoted to the characterization and mitigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) susceptibility in analog circuits through the development of robust amplifier architectures. The research spans analog and mixed-signal circuit design, combining circuit simulation, layout, and experimental validation through measurements on silicon test chips.
