Edoardo Charbon Adjunct Professor PhD (U.C. Berkeley, 1995) web site: http://aqua.epfl.ch office(s): INF135 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 36487,37528 fax: +41-21-693-5263 BIOGRAPHY Edoardo Charbon received the Diploma from ETH Zürich in 1988, the M.S. from UCSD in 1991, and the Ph.D. from UC-Berkeley in 1995, all in Electrical Engineering. From 1995 to 2000, he was with Cadence Design Systems, where he was responsible for analog and mixed-signal design automation tools and the architect of the company’s initiative for electronic IP protection. In 2000, he joined Canesta Inc. as its Chief Architect, leading the development of wireless 3D CMOS image sensors. Since November 2002, he has been a member of the Faculty of EPFL, working in the field of CMOS sensors, biophotonics, and ultra low-power wireless embedded systems. Since 2008 Prof. Charbon is Full Professor and Chair of VLSI design at TU Delft, succeeding Prof. Patrick Dewilde. At Delft he leads research in high performance, low power cirrcuits and systems. Prof. Charbon has consulted for numerous organizations, including Texas Instruments, Hewlett-Packard, and the Carlyle Group. He has published over 150 articles in technical journals and conference proceedings and two books, and he holds 12 patents. His research interests include high-performance imaging, quantum integrated circuits, and design automation algorithms. Dr. Charbon has served as Guest Editor of the Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems and the Journal of Solid-State Circuits and is currently the chair of technical committees in ESSCIRC, ICECS, and VLSI-SOC.
