Teresa Serrano-Gotarredona

Biography

Teresa Serrano-Gotarredona received her B.S. degree in electronics physics and her Ph.D degree in VLSI neural categorizers from the University of Seville, Sevilla, Spain in 1992 and 1996, respectively. She got a M.Sc. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Johns Hopkins University in 1997.

She was assistant professor in the Electronics and Electromagnetism Department of the University of Seville from September 1998 until June 2000. Since September 2000, she has been a Tenured Scientist at the National Microelectronics Center , (IMSE-CNM-CSIC) Sevilla , Spain, and in July 2008, she was promoted to Tenured Researcher. Since January 2006, she is also part-time professor at the University of Seville.

She has published 1 monographic book, 8 book chapters, 69 peer reviewed journal papers and more than 100 papers in international conferences.

Her research interests include analog circuit design of linear and nonlinear circuits, VLSI neural based pattern recognition systems, VLSI implementations of neural computing and sensory systems, transistor parameter mismatch characterization, address-event-representation VLSI, nanoscale memristor-type AER, and real-time vision sensing and processing chips.

Dr. Serrano-Gotarredona was corecipient of the 1995-96 IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems Best Paper Award for the paper "A Real-Time Clustering Microchip Neural Engine". She has also been co-recipient of the 2000 IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems Darlington Award for the paper "A General Translinear Principle forSubthreshold MOS Transistors". She is co-author of the book " Adaptive Resonance Theory Microchips ".

She has been chair of the Sensory Systems Technical Committee of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and chair of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Spain Chapter. She was academic editor of the PLoSOne from May 2008 until October 2013, and she has also served as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I, regular papers and the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-II, express briefs. Currently, she is Associate Editor of Frontiers in Neuromorphic Engineering.

Angeliki Pantazi

Biography

Angeliki Pantazi is a Principal Research Staff Member and a Research Manager at the IBM Research – Zurich in Switzerland. She received her Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology from the University of Patras, Greece. Since 2006, she is a Research Staff Member at IBM Research – Zurich and currently she is managing the Neuromorphic Computing and I/O Links group. She was named IBM Master Inventor in 2014 and became a senior member of the IEEE in 2015 and a Fellow of IFAC in 2019. She was a co-recipient of the 2009 IEEE Control Systems Technology Award for contributions to nanopositioning for MEMS-based storage and other applications, the 2009 IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award and the 2014 IFAC Industrial Achievement Award for the application of advanced control technologies in the nano-domain to magnetic tape data storage. In 2017, she received an IBM Corporate Award for Archival storage for big data and analytics and the IEEE Control Systems Society Transition to Practice Award for the development of advanced control technologies for magnetic tape data storage and nanopositioning applications. She has contributed in several control-related projects in data storage systems and in particular magnetic tape storage. Recently, her research is focusing on neuromorphic computing combined with phase-change memory concepts. She has published 100 refereed articles and holds over 40 granted patents.
