In February 1994, he became a Research Assistant at the University of Naples "Federico II." From July 1996 to Deember 1996, he was Research Fellow at the University of Delft, The Netherlands, working on the modeling of high-speed bipolar devices. In November 1998 he was appointed Associate Professor at the University of Naples "Federico II." Since November 2002 he has been Full Professor at the University of Naples. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the IEEE Bipolar/BICMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting, and vice-chairman of the IEEE Electron Device Chapter (Central & South Italy Section). From 2009 to 2013 he was Coordinator of the Ph.D. program in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering. From 2010 to 2012 he was the Coordinator of the Italian Ph.D. School in Electronics Engineering. In 2012 he was awarded the Medal of Meritorious from the Technical University of Lodz (Poland). He was a workpackage leader in the European Projects DOTFIVE and DOTSEVEN. His present research interests include the modeling of bipolar and power MOS transistors, self-heating effects in solid-state circuits and devices, electro-thermal simulation, and design of RF and microwave circuits and devices. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 publications in international journals and conferences. Read More Read Less
