Gianluca Setti PhD

Gianluca Setti received a Dr. Eng. degree (with honors) in Electronic Engineering and a Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Bologna, Bologna in 1992 and in 1997, respectively. From May 1994 to July 1995 he was with the Laboratory of Nonlinear Systems (LANOS) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) as Visiting Researcher. Since 1997 is has been with the School of Engineering at the University of Ferrara, Italy, where he is currently a Professor of Circuit Theory and Analog Electronics. He has also been Visiting Professor/Scientist at EPFL (2002, 2005), at the University of California San Diego (2004), at the IBM T. J. Watson Laboratories (2004, 2007) and at the University of Washington in Seattle (2008). In 2006-2007 he has been the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems – Part II and, in 2008-2009, he has been the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems – Part I. In 2010 he has been working as the President of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society. Since 2006 he is a Fellow of the IEEE.His research interests include nonlinear circuits, recurrent neural networks, implementation and application of chaotic circuits and systems, statistical signal processing, EMI reduction, Wireless communication and Sensor Networks, as well as Biological Circuits and Systems.

He has received Best Student Paper Award 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS2011), for the paper “Analog-to-Information Conversion of Sparse and Non-White Signal: Statistical Design of Sensing Waveforms,” with M. Mangia e R. Rovatti.
Best Paper Award, 2005 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD05), for the paper “Chaos-based High-EMC Spread-Spectrum Clock Generator”, with L. de Michele, F. Pareschi and R. Rovatti.
Best Student Paper Award, 2005 Zurich International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC Zurich 2005), for the paper “A PLL–based Clock Generator with Improved EMC”, with F. Pareschi, L. de Michele, and R. Rovatti .
IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Darlington Award, 2004 (IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems Best paper award) for the paper “Generation of Constant-Envelope Spread-Spectrum Signals via Chaos-Based FM: Theory and Simulation Results,” vol. 50, pp. 3-15, 2003, with S. Callegari and R. Rovatti.
