Robert Staszewski

Prof. Robert Staszewski is a Full Professor at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College Dublin (since 2014) and a Visiting Full Professor at Delft University of Technology (since 2009). His academic journey began with a PhD from University of Texas at Dallas (2002), preceded by MSEE (1992) and BSEE (1991) degrees. He previously worked at Alcatel (1991–1995) and Texas Instruments (1995–2009), where he co-founded the Digital RF Processor (DRP) group and served as CTO (2007–2009).

• Research Focus: Nanoscale CMOS architectures, quantum computing hardware, millimeter-wave PLLs, and low-power IoT RF circuits.
• Recent Publications: 15 most recent works span quantum dots in 22nm FDSOI, harmonic predistortion in ADPLLs, ultra-low-jitter charge-sharing PLLs, and RF reuse strategies for IoT.

Scientific Contributions include 6 books, 11 book chapters, 150+ journal papers, and 210 US patents. His Equal1 Labs co-founded in 2014 aims to build the first single-chip CMOS quantum computer. Awards:

• 2012 IEEE Circuits and Systems Industrial Pioneer Award
• IEEE Fellow (2009)

Teaching Leadership: Coordinates advanced modules in Analogue Integrated Circuits, Mixed-Signal Circuits, and Quantum Computing (2014–2025). Supervises PhD thesis projects in nanoscale RF and quantum systems.
