Hanspeter Schmid

Prof. Dr. Hanspeter Schmid is a Lecturer for Microelectronics and Signal Processing at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) within the School of Engineering and the Environment. He also serves as a part-time Senior Lecturer at ETH Zurich for Analog Signal Processing and Filtering.

• Diploma, Postgraduate, and Doctoral degrees from ETH Zurich

His research focuses on fast low-power circuits for sensor electronics, signal integrity in analog systems, and sigma-delta modulation. Recent publications address noise analysis, statistical fallacies in small sample measurements, and mixed-signal circuit design.

Key article trends include analog/digital filter design, signal-flow graphs, and FFT applications in noise measurement. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical circuit implementation, as seen in his 3σ Fallacy study and switched-capacitor tutorials.

• IEEE CAS Society: Co-Chair (2008-2010), Associate Editor (TCAS-I 2007-2011, TCAS-II 2016-2017)
• Distinguished Lecturer (2011-2012) and ESSCIRC committee member until 2019

He supervises research projects like Authenticity in Music Production, collaborating with digital music research centers to simulate electronic equipment. His professional affiliations include FHNW’s Institute for Sensors and Electronics and ETH Zurich.
