The mentor. Professor Gheorghe BREZEANU

Gheorghe Brezeanu (M’90) received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the Electronic and Telecommunications Faculty of the University “Politehnica” of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania, in 1972 and 1981, respectively. He has been with the same Faculty since 1972, focusing on the development of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits. In 1992 he became a Full Professor at the Department of Electrical Devices and Circuits, within the Electronic and Telecommunications Faculty, teaching “Electronic Devices”, ”Basic Electronic Circuits” and “Low-Power, Low-Voltage Analog ICs”. He was Scientific Chairman of the Faculty between 1996 and 2012 and since then he has been Director of the Ph.D. School. He is also Head of the Microsystems Master Program. His main area of research includes physics, modelling and fabrication of power and sensor devices on Si and SiC, and design and electrical characterization of low-power analog ICs. He founded the SiC Devices Group in the Advanced Power Semiconductor Devices Laboratory in 1995. This group was focused on research activities regarding design, fabrication and modelling of silicon carbide and diamond devices. He is the author or coauthor of 16 books and more than 230 papers published in technical journals and conference proceedings. He also holds five patents. Prof. Brezeanu was Chairman of the Electron Devices Society Romania Chapter from 1996 to 2008. He has also been an active member of the IEEE Electron Devices Society for over 20 years.
