Biography

Dr Radu Sporea is Associate Professor in Power Electronics and Semiconductor Devices at the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI), University of Surrey and holds an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship (2021-2026). Prior to this appointment he was Royal Academy of Engineering Academic Research Fellow (2011-2016), EPSRC PhD+ Fellow (2010-2011) and PhD researcher (2006 - 2010) in the same centre. Before joining Surrey, Radu has studied Computer Systems Engineering at “Politehnica” University, Bucharest, Romania, and has worked as a Design Engineer for Catalyst Semiconductor Romania, now part of ON Semiconductor, on ultra-low-power CMOS analog circuits. Current research in Radu's team focuses on three main topics: 1. Advanced semiconductor device design, including transistors with increased tolerance to fabrication variability, improved energy efficiency and high gain. 2. Large area sensors and sensor arrays for smart environments, focusing on multi-modal low-cost integration in commercial manufacturing platforms and mass-market products. 3. Paper-based electronics and physical-digital interaction
