Biography

Johan Bauwelinck received his PhD degree in Applied Sciences, Electronics from Ghent University, Belgium in 2005. Since Oct 2009, he is a Professor in the IDLab research group of the Department of Information Technology (INTEC) at the same university where he is leading the Design lab since 2014. He became a Guest Professor at iMinds in the same year, now IMEC since 2016. His research focuses on high-speed, high-frequency (opto) electronic circuits and systems, and their applications on chip and board level, including transmitter and receiver analog front-ends for wireless, wired and fiber-optic communication or instrumentation systems. He is an active person involved in the EU-funded projects GIANT, POWERNET, PIEMAN, EuroFOS, C3-PO, Mirage, Phoxtrot, Spirit, Flex5Gware, Teraboard, Streams, WIPE and Optima conducting research on advanced electronic integrated circuits for next generation transport, metro, access, datacenter and radio-over-fiber networks. He has promoted 18 PhDs and co-authored more than 200 publications and 10 patents in the field of High-Speed Electronics and Fiber-Optic Communications.
