Curriculum vitae

Dr. Giovanni A. Salvatore has been an Associate Professor since July 2024. He is Head of the Electronics Laboratory and, together with Prof. De Fazio, of the cleanroom at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.

He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering (2004) and a Master’s degree in Micro- and Nanotechnologies (2006) from the Polytechnic University of Turin, with a Master’s thesis on nanoimprinting carried out at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which was awarded the Accenture Prize in 2006. He earned his PhD in 2011 from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he conducted research on ferroelectric transistors for memory and switching applications. His doctoral thesis received the 2012 ABB Award as the best PhD thesis in Electronics.

From 2011 to 2017, he worked as a senior researcher and group leader at ETH Zurich and at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC, John Rogers’ group), focusing on thin-film electronics, wireless epidermal devices, and transient (dissolvable) electronic systems. His research at UIUC was supported by a SNSF Advanced Research Fellowship (2014–2015). At the end of 2017, he joined the ABB Corporate Research Center in Baden (Switzerland), later Hitachi Semiconductors, where he worked on electronic device packaging and reliability.

In 2021, he was appointed Assistant Professor (with tenure) at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where he established and currently directs the Electronics Laboratory and the academic program in Electronics.

He is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications and more than 20 patents, with an h-index of 36 (Google Scholar).

Dr. Salvatore is an IEEE Senior Member, a member of the Technical Committee on Emerging Technologies of the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS), an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Electronics – Bioelectronics. Moreover he is Ca Foscari representative in the National Interuniversity Consortium for Nanoelectronics (IU.NET).

Currently, he is Work Package Leader and Principal Investigator of the local research unit in two European projects (DigitalPlan and Quipack), as well as Scientific Coordinator of the national PRIN project BIOTEs4IoT.

His current research interests focus on thin-film bio-integrated electronics, with particular emphasis on biodegradable and sustainable materials and processes, neuromorphic biodevices, biosensors, and transducers.
