Andrea RuffinoAndrea Ruffino received the B.Sc. degree (cum laude) in Engineering Physics from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 2013, the triple joint M.Sc. degree (cum laude) in Micro and Nanotechnologies for Integrated Systems from Politecnico di Torino, Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), Grenoble, France, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2015 and the Ph.D. degree in Microsystems and Microelectronics from EPFL in 2021.
From 2015 to 2016, he was with Hypres, Inc., Elmsford, NY, USA, working on the design of superconducting readout circuits in rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) technology for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. In 2016, he joined EPFL as a Research Assistant and from 2017 to 2018 he was a Visiting Research Assistant at Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. Since 2016 he has been with EPFL, where he is working on cryogenic CMOS electronics for qubit readout and control, focusing on single-chip cryo-CMOS transceivers for scalable silicon quantum computers. His main research interests include analog and RF integrated circuit design, cryogenic CMOS electronics for quantum computing applications, superconducting electronics and sensors.
Dr. Ruffino was also among the Best Student Paper Award finalists at the IEEE Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium 2019 and he is a recipient of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Predoctoral Achievement Award for 2020-2021.
Yatao PengYatao Peng received the Ph.D. degree in electronics engineering at 2015 from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, with a focus on the multi-band/wideband RF front-ended circuits in wireless communication station. From 2016 to 2017, he was a Post-Doctoral Researcher with the University of Macau, Macau, China, where he was involved in CMOS millimeter-wave integretaed circuit design. From 2017 to 2018, he was with the National University of Singapore, Singapore, where he served as a Researcher to develop CMOS phase-shifter modules for hybrid integrated flexible electronic systems.
He is currently a Scientist with the Advanced Quantum Architecture Laboratory, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. His current research interests include CMOS cryogenic RF circuits for quantum computer application.
