Andrea Bonfanti was born in Besana Brianza in 1972. He received the Laurea Degree in electronics engineering and the Ph.D. in electronics and communications from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 1999 and 2003, respectively. During Ph.D. period, he studied the up-conversion of flicker noise into phase noise in bipolar and CMOS LC-tuned oscillator. From 2003 to 2005 he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Politecnico di Milano involved in the study and design of fully-integrated oscillators, RF frequency synthesizers and delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters. During this period he was a consultant for ST-Microelectronics (Agrate Brianza, Italy) and Accent (Vimercate, Italy) and CEFRIEL (Center of Excellence for Research, Innovation and Industrial Labs Partnership, Milano, Italy From 2008 to 2009 he was researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT, Genova, Italy) where he was involved in the design of integrated circuits for acquisition and processing of neural signals in laboratory animals and human patient within the framework of the Brain Machine Interface Project. Currently, Dr. Bonfanti is Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering of the Politecnico di Milano. He is coauthor of approximately 30 papers published in journals or presented at international conferences.
