Curriculum Vitae

Paolo Pavan graduated in Electronics Engineering in 1990 at the University of Padova, where he received his Ph.D. in 1994. From 1992 to 1994 he was graduate student and visiting research engineer at the University of California at Berkeley (U.S.A.). In 1994 he became Research Associate at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy and in 1998 Associate Professor of Electronics. Since 2004 he is Full Professor of Electronics at the same University.

His research interests are in the field of electrical characterization and modeling of solid state devices. Presently he is working on characterization and modeling of nonvolatile semiconductor memories. He cooperates with italian and foreign companies for the development of new semiconductor memories.

In 2002 and 2003 he was member of the technical subcommittee "CMOS and Interconnect Reliability" of International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM) and in 2004 he is Chairman of the same Subcommittee, in 2005 he is European Vice-Chair, in 2006 European Chair of the same Meeting. He was chariman of the technical committee in "Nonvolatile and Programmable Device Reliability" subcommittee of ESREF2002. He is guest editor of IEEE Transactions on Device and Material Reliability for the Sept. 2004 Special Isuue "Nonvolatile Memory Reliability". Since 2006 he is member of the Techncal Committee of "International Symposium on VLSI Technology, System and Applications (VLSI-TSA)", Taiwan.

His interests are now also in applied research, in particular in embedded systems, both wireless and on communication bus. He co-founded two spin-off companies working on wireless and "by-wire" embedded systems.

He is responsible of many european and national research projects. He is President of IU.NET (Italian Universities Nano-Electronics Team), a consortium of Universities where research groups are active in nanoelectronics. He published more than 70 papers on international journals and conferences, one book and two book chapters.
