Biography
Andrea Cossettini is a Project Leader and Lecturer at the Integrated Systems Laboratory (IIS) of ETH Zurich, and Research Cooperation Manager of the ETH Future Computing Laboratory (EFCL). He received his PhD, M.Sc., and B.Sc. degrees in Electronic Engineering from the University of Udine (Italy), in 2019, 2015, and 2012, respectively.
He worked on THz electromagnetic design at Acreo Swedish ICT AB (Sweden, in 2014) and on signal integrity for high-speed serial interfaces at Infineon Technologies (Austria, in 2014–2015). During his PhD , he worked on nanoelectrode array biosensors for high-frequency impedance spectroscopy and imaging, for which he received the PhD Award from the University of Udine.
His research focus is on circuits and systems design for biomedical applications, with a special emphasis on wearable ultrasound and imaging and neural interfaces and EEG-based systems .
