Biography
Prof. Svelto received the Laurea and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in 1991 and 1995, respectively. During his Ph. D. studies, focused on the design of low noise electronic circuits for high energy physics experiments, he was Associate Researcher for a few months in several international institutions: Brookhaven National Laboratory (U.S.), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (U.S.), C.E.R.N. (Switzerland), Laboratoire du l’ Accelerateur Lineaire (France). From 1996 to 1997, he held a grant from STMicroelectronics for research in the area of CMOS wireless circuits. In 1997, he was appointed Assistant Professor at University of Bergamo, and in 2000 he joined University of Pavia where he is now Professor and Vice-Rector for knowledge transfer.
Research Interest
RF and mm-wave systems for wireless communications, high-speed serial links and ultrasound electronics for medical diagnostic. Silicon photonics, both in the area of optical components and electronics transceiver design, is drawing more and more research interest.
