Francesco GramugliaFrancesco Gramuglia received the MEng degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano in 2016. From 2015 to 2016 he was a trainee in the STORMlab of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, where he worked on the development of robotic endoscope platforms. In 2016 he received the Best Application Prize and Overall Winner at Surgical Robot Challenge during the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics at Imperial College, London, 2016. Since 2017, he has been pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the EPFL in the Advanced Quantum Architecture laboratory (AQUA) under the advising of Prof. Edoardo Charbon and Claudio Bruschini, PhD. His research is focused on the design of SPAD based CMOS image sensors and system development for use in biomedical applications, e.g. Time-of-flight Positron emission tomography (TOFPET).
Yihe ZhaoYihe Zhao was born in Qingdao, China, in 1993. He received the BSc degree in Mechanical Design Manufacturing and Automation from Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China, in 2015. He joined the Integrated Circuits Laboratory (ICLAB) in EPFL as a joint research scientist in 2021. He is currently persuing the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China.
His current research interests include micro- and nano-sensors, and CMOS circuits interface, especially for bio and ultrasonic applications of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs).
