معرفی
Francesco Driussi is an Associate Professor at the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture (DPIA), University of Udine, Italy. He received his Ph.D. in Electronics from the University of Udine in 2004 and has been affiliated with DPIA since 2005, initially as a Research Associate (2005-2018) before assuming his current role in 2018. He has also served as a Visiting Scientist at Philips Research Leuven (IMEC, Belgium) in 2003.
His research focuses on nano/microelectronic device physics, specializing in characterization techniques and physics-based modeling for emerging technologies. Key areas include memory cells, CMOS transistors, sensors, 2D materials (e.g., MoS2), ferroelectric memristors, and neuromorphic computing systems. His work bridges experimental design with theoretical simulations to advance semiconductor device architectures.
Analysis of his 15 most recent articles (2022-2025) reveals dominant themes: ferroelectric devices (capacitors, tunnel junctions), 2D material interfaces, avalanche photodiodes for radiation detection, and high-frequency circuit modeling. Methodologies emphasize ab initio simulations, experimental characterization, and compact modeling for real-world applications.
He maintains active collaborations with semiconductor industry leaders (NXP, ST Microelectronics) and European research institutions including CEA-Leti (France), KTH (Sweden), AMICA-AMO/NaMLab (Germany), IMEC (Belgium), and IMM-CNR/Elettra (Italy). His projects are funded by the EU and Italian Ministry for University Education and Research (MIUR).
Driussi serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Electronics and reviews for 15+ international journals. He participates in technical committees for premier conferences like the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) and International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures (ICMTS).
