I received the B.S. degree in Industrial Electronics Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain, in 2007, and the M.S. degree in Micro- and Nanoelectronics Engineering in 2009 and the Ph.D. degree in Microelectronics and Electronic Systems in 2015 both from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. From 2006 to 2008, I was with Investigation Total Ware, S.A., Spain, where I was engaged in analog and mixed-signal circuit design for highly reliable wireless telecommunication systems. From 2008 to 2015, I was with the Integrated Circuits and Systems design group at the Institut de Microelectrònica de Barcelona, CNM, CSIC, Spain, designing low-power high-precision mixed-signal ASICs for integrated smart sensors and IP blocks. From 2015 to 2016, I was with Broadcom Ltd., Barcelona, Spain, developing low-power CMOS IPs like low-temperature-drift oscillators, varible-temperature-coefficient current/voltage generators, temperature sensors, cross-domain level shifting and biasing circuits, touch-sensor transmitter drivers. I am co-author of 12 publications and participant in several research and industrial projects using a wide range of CMOS technology nodes. I am recipient of the 2007 Highest Grade Point Average in the Graduating Class Award, the 2014 Best Paper Award and the 2015 Student Best Paper Award Honorable Mention. My skills include: high-performance continuous-time/switched-capacitor circuits such as low-power high-resolution ADCs/DACs using Class-AB OpAmps; system high-level modeling (SciPy/Sage, Matlab); system electrical-level modeling (Verilog/-A/-AMS); EKV circuit-level modeling; full-custom IC design cycle (gEDA Tools/Cadence Virtuoso: from schematics to layout and verification); development of low-noise and low-distortion test equipment (including microcontrollers and FPGAs) and software (using C++, Tcl, VB, Python); and, experimental IC measures and parameter extraction.
Hugo Hernández received his B.S. degree in Electronic Engineering from The Industrial University of Santander, Colombia in 2005 and M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (EPUSP), Brazil in 2008. Hugo obtained his Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering from University of São Paulo in 2015. He was Mixed Signal IC designer at LSITEC and DFCHIP (Brazil) where worked for 8 years, and Pos-doc of the Universidad de Sao Paulo in collaboration with ALICE-CERN as analog IC designer in the SAMPA ASIC project. He was Adjunct Professor of the Control and Automation course at the Engineering Institute (CUVG) of UFMT for 2 years. He is currently Adjunct Professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG).
