Oscar Alonso was born in Barcelona in 1982. He received the Ph.D. degree in engineering and advanced technologies from the University of Barcelona, Spain, in 2012. He is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona. His research focuses on VLSI circuit design, with experience in ASIC development for a wide range of applications. These include analog IPs for high-energy physics experiments (such as the Belle II tracker in Japan and the ILC), IPs for RISC-V-based processors, medical and biomedical devices, and system-on-chip (SoC) designs for autonomous and sustainable electronics. His recent work explores low-power and flexible IGZO-based circuits for environmentally conscious applications, including disposable and energy-harvesting IoT systems.
