The ETRO group researches on:

– Modelling and simulation of novel devices for neuromorphic computing and artificial intelligence systems. Development of a multiscale modeling and simulation platform supporting design on novel devices and measurement interpretation.

Design of transceivers operating at RF and millimetre waves for 5G and beyond and vehicular communications.

– Design and characterization of energy harvesting systems (including transducers & power converters) and wireless sensor network.

– Printed technologies for novel audio transducers using printed technologies. Printed NWs transparent and/or flexible layers featuring tuned electrical and optical properties.
