MISSION
The group of Prof. Popovic is devoted to pushing the limits of the known and possible in the field of integrated magnetic and optical sensors.
The main research interests of the group are new effects and concepts for sensor devices, interface electronics, and the system integration of sensors and electronics.
Currently, the group is working on the following projects:
• Integrated Hall magnetic sensors for better current and angular position sensing,
• Integrated single photon counting avalanche diodes for future lidar applications,
• Integrated single electron bipolar avalanche transistors for very fast electronics in the sub-picoamp current range,
• Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electron Spin Resonance devices.
BIOGRAPHY
Radivoje S. Popovic received the Dipl. Ing. degree in engineering physics from the University of Beograd, Yugoslavia in 1969, and the M.Sc and Dr.Sc. degrees in electronics from the University of Nis, Yugoslavia in 1974 and 1978.
From 1969 to 1981, he was with Elektronska Industrija in Nis, Yugoslavia, where we was head of the company's CMOS department. From 1982 to 1993, he worked for Landis & Gyr AG, Central R&D in Zug, Switzerland, where he was appointed vice president Central R&D in 1991. In 1994, he joined Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, as professor for microtechnology systems. His current research interests include sensors for magnetic and optical signals, interface electronics, and noise phenomena.
Dr Popovic is author or co-author of about 250 publications and 95 patent applications. He is co-founder of start-up companies Sentron AG, Sentronis AD, Senis GmbH, Ametes AG, and Sensima Technology SA. He is member of Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences and of Serbian Academy of Engineering Sciences.
