Profile

Sergio Callegari (M’00–SM’06) received the Dr.Eng. degree (with honors) in electronic engineering and a Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering and computer science from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 1996 and 2000, working on nonlinear circuits and chaotic systems. In 1996, he was a visiting student at King’s College London, U.K.

He is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering, University of Bologna, where he teaches electronics and signal processing. In recent years, he lectured in programs for students of aerospace, electronics, and automotive engineering. At the same university, he is also a faculty member of the Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems (ARCES). In 2008, 2009, and 2011 he was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA, where he stayed for short periods.

His current research interests include nonlinear signal processing, internally nonlinear, externally linear networks, chaotic maps, delta-sigma modulation, testing of analog circuits, and random number generation. He has authored or coauthored more than 90 papers in international conferences, journals and scientific books, as well as four national patents and he is co-editor of a book. In 2004 he was co-recipient of the IEEE Circuit and Systems Society Darlington Award for the best paper appeared in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems in the previous biennium. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—Part II: Express Briefs during 2006 and 2007, and then again in 2016 and as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—Part I: Regular Papers during 2008 and 2009. He has been Chair of the Technical Committee on Nonlinear Circuits and Systems and he is currently also a member of the Technical Committee on Education and Outreach in the IEEE CAS Society. He served in the Organization Committee and as Publication Co-Chair at NOLTA 2006 and as a member of the Organization Committee of ISCAS 2018. He participated to the organization of Eurodoc 2006, was a Special-Session Co-Chair of NOLTA 2010 and as a track Co-Chair for many editions of ICECS, and for ISCAS 2013. In 2005–2007, he was a member of the board of the Italian Society of Doctoral Candidates and Ph.D. Graduates (ADI).
