Prof. R. Guerrieri

Biography

Roberto is Full Professor in Electrical Engineering at the University of Bologna and serial entrepreneur. He received the Electrical Engineering degree and the Ph.D. from the University of Bologna. From 1986, he has been visiting the Dept. of EECS at the University of California at Berkeley and the Dept. of Electrical Engineering at the MIT in Boston. In 1998 he became Director of the Laboratory for Electronic Systems, a joint venture of the University of Bologna and STM Microelectronics. He is senior founder of Silicon Biosystems, a biomedical device company (Exit with Menarini Spa), and tech inventor of the fingerprint sensor developed at Upek, Inc and integrated on the Iphone (Exit with Apple). Roberto published 90+ papers in various fields including numerical simulation, electronics, computer science, biometric sensors and applications of microelectronic to biotechnology. He has been awarded a Best Paper Award of the IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing and an “ISSCC Best Paper Award” for his work on biosensor system design.
