Federico Bizzarri of Politecnico di Milano
Biography:
Federico Bizzarri was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1974. He received the Laurea (M.Sc.) five-year degree (summa cum laude) in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Since October 2018 he is an associate professor at the Electronic and Information Department of the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, where he had been a temporary research contract assistant from June 2010. In 2009 he was a post-doctoral research assistant in Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems for Information and Communication Technologies ''E. De Castro'' (ARCES) at the University of Bologna, Italy. From 2002 to 2008 he had been a post-doctoral research assistant in the Biophysical and Electronic Engineering Department of the University of Genova, Italy. In 2000 he was a visitor to EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. He is a research fellow of the Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems for Information and Communication Technologies ''E. De Castro'' (ARCES) at the University of Bologna, Italy. He served has as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems --- Part I from 2012 to 2015 and he was awarded as one of the 2012-2013 Best Associate Editors of this journal. In 2103, 2015 -- 2019, he has been a member of the Review Committee and in 2018 the Co-Chair for the Nonlinear Circuits and Systems track at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE Society since 2014 a member of the IEEE Nonlinear Circuits and System Society Technical Committee since 2015. He is the author or co-author of about 100 scientific papers, more than an half of which have been published in international journals.
The list of his publications can be found at https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6568-6491. His main research interests are in the area of nonlinear circuits, with emphasis on chaotic dynamics and bifurcation theory, the circuit models of nonlinear systems, image processing, circuit theory and simulation. Since 2011 he holds the Elettrotecnica (Basic Circuit Theory) course at Politecnico di Milano.
Elena Blokhina of University College Dublin
Biography:
Elena Blokhina received the Habilitation HDR (equiv. D.Sc.) degree in electronic engineering from UPMC Sorbonne Universities, in 2017, the Ph.D. degree in physical and mathematical sciences and the M.Sc degree in physics from Saratov State University, in 2006 and 2002 respectively. Since 2007, she has been with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of University College Dublin, Ireland, and is currently an Associate Professor. Prof Blokhina is a Senior member of IEEE and the Past Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Nonlinear Circuits and Systems. She had been elected to serve as a member of the Boards of Governors of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CAS) for the term 2013-2015 and has been re-elected for the term 2015-2017. From 2014 to 2017, she chaired the IEEE CAS Young Professionals and Women in Circuits and Systems committee. She has served as a member of organising committees, review and programme committee, session chair and track chair at many international conferences on circuits and systems and nonlinear dynamics including as IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), IEEE Latin American Symposium on Circuits and Systems (LASCAS), IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS), International Symposium on Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications (NOLTA), IEEE international Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (ICECS) and others. Prof Blokhina has served as the Programme Chair of the first edition of IEEE Next Generation of Circuits and Systems Conference (NGCAS) 2017 and of IEEE ICECS 2018 and is the General Co-Chair of ICECS 2020. In 2016-2017 Prof Blokhina was an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I, and in 2018-2021 she was the Deputy Editor in Chief of that Journal. She served as a Visiting Professor in UPMC Sorbonne Universities in 2014, 2017 and 2021. Her research interests include quantum computing, semiconductor devices, quantum dots, microelectronic systems and nonlinear physics.
