Luis Fonseca is senior researcher of the National Center of Microelectronics in Barcelona, Spain. He joined CNM-CSIC as a post-graduate student, working till 1992 on the growth and characterization of thin dielectric films for VLSI and ULSI applications. After this first research period he worked as a process engineer, leading the diffusion and deposition areas of CNM production facilities. In 2001 he joined CNM Microsystems group as a full time researcher. Since 2010 he is leader of the Microenergy sources and sensor integration group. In 2012 he was appointed deputy director of CNM. His current research interests are focused on technological developments for gas sensing, more specifically on optical gas sensing, and on the development of micro and nanotechnologies for thermoelectricity. He is the coordinator of the recently approved EU project SINERGY (Silicon friendly materials and devices for microenergy applications).

Philippe Galy is Senior Expert in micro & nano-electronics at STMicrolectronics R&D Crolles France. He proposed a full CDM protection strategy validated by silicon proof. Moreover, its main R&D topics are on SCR, T2, BIMOS transistor, Beta-structure and other innovative devices. Moreover, he proposes several new ESD compact devices with associated trigger circuits for ESD network. He leads several groups in IP infrastructure team for R&D focused from transistor level to the SOC level. He is serving in TPC or reviewer for many symposiums as ESREF/ICICDT/ESSDERC and for TED/SSE. He has authored or coauthored several publications, books and patents. He holds a Ph.D. and H.D.R.

Dr. Stefano Bellucci obtained in 1986 his Ph.D. in Physics of elementary particles at SISSA, Trieste.

He is the Editor and/or co-author of 10 books with Springer. He appears in the list of Top Italian Scientists published by the VIA Academy.

He received the B.W. Lee Prize at Erice School of Subnuclear Physics (Erice, Italy) 1982. In 1980 he was selected as Summer student at CERN (Geneva).

He is Series Editor of Springer Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology, and biannual (2012-2014) Associate Editor of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Letters. He is Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Nanomaterials and many other scientific journals.

He is Director of the NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division, SPS Programme project “Development of Biosensors using Carbon Nanotubes”. He is INFN scientist in charge of EU projects “NAmiceMC—Nano-thin and micro-sized carbons: Toward electromagnetic compatibility application”, and “FAEMCAR—Fundamental and Applied Electromagnetics of Nano-Carbons”, and Partner of “Graphene-Based Revolutions in ICT And Beyond, GRAPHENE Flagship”. He is LNF Spokesperson of GSS Supersymmetry project and INFN National Spokesperson of SEMS Condensed Matter Theory project.

Martin Pfost received the Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. In 1999, he joined Infineon Technologies, Munich, working on GaAs- and SiGe-HBTs. During 2004-2010 he was concerned with device characterization and electro-thermal simulations of power semiconductors, working from 2008-2010 in the Design Center Bucharest, Romania. Since 2010 he is Professor at Reutlingen University, Germany, where he joined the Robert Bosch Center for power electronics, a research and teaching network established in 2010 in which the Bosch Group, Reutlingen University, and the University of Stuttgart have joined forces. His current research interests focus on modeling and optimization of power semiconductors and power electronic systems.
