Francesco Gregoretti

Francesco Gregoretti was a former faculty member at the Polytechnic of Turin, affiliated with the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (DET). He contributed to teaching and academic leadership, including roles as Course Owner for Applied Electronics in recent academic years (2019/20, 2020/21) and as a collaborator in Computer Engineering courses.

His doctoral program involvement spanned Electronics and Communications Engineering cycles from 2003/2004 (19th cycle) to 2012/2013 (28th cycle). Research interests focused on highly parallel architectures, DC-DC switch-mode power conversion, and heterogeneous computing platforms. He led research groups like CodeSimulink (automatic synthesis of analog circuits) and projects addressing high-performance software acceleration.

Key projects include:

• ASPIDA (2002–2005) – Asynchronous open-source processor development
• Sviluppo di un ambiente di coprogettazione hardware/software basato su Simulink (2001–2003) – EU-funded
• Design of HW and SW Platforms for Sensor Networks (2007–2008) – Commercially funded

Publications emphasize power electronics and parallel computing, with recent works (2021, 2020) on real-time monitoring and digital control frameworks. Earlier contributions (1993–1994) explored SIMD array processors for high-performance computing.

No scientific awards are listed. However, he co-invented a patent (Magnetic application in cancer research and therapeutic aid) with Romano Borchiellini, Maurizio Bressan, Umberto Lucia, Bartolomeo Montrucchio, and Emilio Paolucci, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement.

His academic narrative includes decades of project management and teaching, with a focus on merging theoretical research (parallel architectures) with applied engineering (power systems and sensor networks). The listed doctoral cycles and teaching roles highlight sustained contributions to academic training in electronics and telecommunications.
