G. Pillonnet (M’05, SM’16) was born in Lyon, France, in 1981. He received his Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from CPE Lyon, France, in 2004, a PhD and habilitation degrees from INSA Lyon, France in 2007 and 2016, respectively. Following an early experience as analog designer in STMicroelectronics in 2008, he joined the University of Lyon as associate Professor. During the 2011-12 academic year, he held a visiting researcher position at the University of California at Berkeley. Since 2013, he is in CEA-Léti, Grenoble, France, involved in developing various projects in design technology co-optimization. During the 2022-2023 academic year, he joins energy-efficient microsystems group at UCSD as a visiting researcher. He is now the scientific advisor for the Silicon component division in CEA-Léti. His research focuses on power-conversion oriented circuits such as DC-DC converters, audio amplifiers, adiabatic logics, electromechanical transducers, harvesting electrical interfaces. He is also involved in various device/circuit design enablement for RRAM, Si-qubit, solid-state energy storage and MEMS sensors.
