Marco Tartagni received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering
in 1988 and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
in 1993 both from the University of Bologna, Italy. During his
Ph.D. program, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering
at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA in 1992 as
a visiting student and in 1994 as a research fellow, working on
various aspects of analog VLSI for image processing. Since March
1995 he has been with the Department of Electronics, Bologna
University, where he is currently an Associate Professor. From 1996
to 2001 he was team leader in the joint STMicroelectronics and
Bologna University lab working on intelligent sensors such as CMOS
cameras ad biometric devices. In 1997, within that framework, he
was the designer of the first silicon-only fingerprint capacitive
sensor. In 1999 he was co-founder of
Silicon Biosystems, and in
2001 he was a co-founder of the Center of Excellence for Electronic
Design ARCES, University of Bologna. He was co-recipient of the Van
Vessem Outstanding Paper Award, received at the 2004 IEEE ISSCC
conference, for presenting a biosensor platform based on
dielectrophoresis. From 2005 to 2008 he was European coordinator of
FP6 RECEPTRONICS in the Nanotechnology thematic area. Since 2008 he
has been coordinator of the Energy Autonomous Systems and member of
the More-than-Moore roadmapping team within the European CATRENE
initiatives. He is author or co-author of more than 100
peer-reviewed scientific publications in the field of sensor
theory, design and testing. He is also the holder of 18 US granted
patents and 11 European and WIPO patents.
