CHRISTIAN C. ENZ (M84) received the Ph.D. degree from the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne(EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland,
in 1989. In 1989, he was one of the founders of Smart Silicon Systems
S.A. (S3), where he developed several low-noise and low-power ICs, mainly
for high energy physics application. From 1992 to 1997, he was an Assistant
Professor at EPFL, working in the field of low-power analog CMOS IC
design and device modeling. He was also a Principal Senior Engineer
at Conexant (formerly Rockwell Semiconductor Systems), Newport Beach,
CA, where he was responsible for the modeling and characterization of
MOS transistors for RF applications. In April 1999,he joined the Swiss
Center for Electronics and Micro technology, Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
He is currently the Vice-President and leads the Microelectronics .Division.
Since 1999, he has also been a Professor at EPFL, where he is lecturing
and supervising undergraduate and graduate students in the field of
analog and RF IC design and semiconductor device modeling. He is the
author and coauthor of more than 130 scientific papers and has contributed
to numerous conference presentations and advanced engineering courses.
His technical interests and expertise are in the fields of semiconductor
device modeling, very low-power analog and RF IC design, and wireless
sensor networks.
