Giuseppe Scotti was born in Cagliari, Italy, in 1975. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy, in 1999 and 2003, respectively. In 2010, he became a Researcher (Assistant Professor) at the DIET department of the university of Rome "La Sapienza" and in 2015 he was appointed an Associate Professor in the same department. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on basic electronics and microelectronics. His research activity was mainly concerned with integrated circuits design and focused on design methodologies able to guarantee robustness with respect to parameter variations in both analog circuits and digital VLSI circuits. In the context of analog design his research activity was concerned with circuit topologies for the realization of low-voltage analog building blocks using ultra-short channel CMOS technology and with the development of current mode analog functions. He has been also involved in R&D activities held in collaboration between “La Sapienza” University and some industrial partners which led, between 2000 and 2015, to the implementation of 13 ASICs. He has coauthored more than 45 publications in international Journals, about 70 contributions in conference proceedings and is the co-inventor of 2 international patents. SKILLS More than fifteen years experience in Analog integrated circuits design using Cadence environment from schematic level simulation up to layout. More than ten years experience in Digital integrated circuits design, RTL/VHDL coding, synthesis, timing analysis and place & route, using Synopsys tools for frontend design and Cadence tools for backend. Digital signal processing algorithms for digital receivers, satellite communications and ranging applications from system level (e.g. matlab/simulink) to VHDL/FPGA implementation and test. RESEARCH PROJECTS 2004-2006: participation to the STREP european project under the VI° framework program “SCARD - Side Channel Attacks Resistant Design”. 2007-2009: participation to the Integrated european project under under the VI° framework program SHAPES (Scalable Software Hardware Application Platform for Embedded Systems). 2010-2013: participation and technical coordination of the technological development project of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) “DIVA” for the implementation of a DVB-S2/DVB-RCS user terminal in a single chip. PUBLICATIONS -More than 50 papers on international journals -More than 70 papers on international conferences -2 patents -H-index 16 (Scopus)
