Miloš Stanisavljevic received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia, in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2009. During 2004, he was an Analog Design and Layout Engineer for Elsys Design, Belgrade/ Texas Instruments, Nice. In the end of 2004, he joined Microelectronic Systems Laboratory, EPFL, as a Research Assistant. During 2006, he was with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Research, Zurich, for six months, where he was involved in the project related to reliability emulation in the state-of-the-art nanoscale CMOS technology. He is currently engaged in the field of reliability and fault-tolerant design of nanometer-scale systems. His current research interests include mixed-signal gate and system level design, reliability evaluation, and optimization. Dr. Stanisavljevic received a Scholarship for Students with Extraordinary Results Awarded by the Serbian Ministry of Education from 1996 to 2004. Alexandre Schmid received the M.S. degree in Microengineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in 1994 and 2000, respectively. He has been with the EPFL since 1994, working at the Integrated Systems Laboratory as a research and teaching assistant, and at the Electronics Laboratories as a post-doctoral fellow. He joined the Microelectronic Systems Laboratory in 2002 as a Senior Research Associate, where he has been conducting research in the fields of non-conventional signal processing hardware, nanoelectronic reliability, bioelectronic and brain-machine interfaces. Dr. Schmid has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers. He has served in the conference committee of The International Conference on Nano-Networks since 2006, as technical program chair in 2008, and general chair in 2009.Dr. Schmid is an Associate Editor of the IEICE ELEX. Dr. Schmid is also teaching at the Microengineering and Electrical Engineering Departments/Sections of EPFL. Yusuf Leblebici received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from Istanbul Technical University, in 1984 and in 1986, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 1990. Between 1991 and 2001, he worked as a faculty member at UIUC, at Istanbul Technical University, and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). In 2000-2001, he also served as the Microelectronics Program Coordinator at Sabanci University. Since 2002, Dr. Leblebici has been a Chair Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), and director of Microelectronic Systems Laboratory. His research interests include design of high-speed CMOS digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits, computer-aided design of VLSI systems, intelligent sensor interfaces, modeling and simulation of semiconductor devices, and VLSI reliability analysis. He is the coauthor of 4 textbooks, namely, Hot-Carrier Reliability of MOS VLSI Circuits (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993), CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design (Mc Graw Hill, 1st Edition 1996, 2nd Edition 1998, 3rd Edition 2002), CMOS Multichannel Single-Chip Receivers for Multi-Gigabit Optical Data Communications (Springer, 2007) and Fundamentals of High Frequency CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits (Cambridge University Press, 2009), as well as more than 200 articles published in various journals and conferences. He has served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems (II), and IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) Systems. He has also served as the general co-chair of the 2006 European Solid-State Circuits Conference, and the 2006 European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSCIRC/ESSDERC). He is a Fellow of IEEE and has been elected as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society for 2010-2011.
