FRANK HERMAN BEHRENS

Graduated in Electrical Engineering from the State University of Campinas (1982), master's degree in electrical engineering from the State University of Campinas (1989) and PhD in Electrical Engineering from the State University of Campinas (1995). Currently working as a full professor at the School of Electrical Engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas).Between 1982 and 1995, worked at the Renato Archer Information Technology Center, developing research in the area of #8203;#8203;microelectronics, with an emphasis on integrated circuit design, FPGAs, CMOS technology and power devices.From 2000 to 2015, worked as an integrated circuit design engineer at Freescale Semicondutores (currently NXP and previously Motorola Semicondutores), working on the development of analog-digital (mixed-signal) integrated circuits. From 2004 to 2008, worked as a project manager in the Analog Circuits for Automotive Applications sector. Between 2008 and 2015, worked in the development of IPs (Intellectual Property) of synthesizable and reusable logic blocks, described in HDL (Verilog and VHDL), aimed at 32-bit microcontrollers for automotive applications, having participated in the filing of four patents during this period. From 2016 to 2024, was part of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Telecommunications Network Management at PUC-Campinas, developing research focused on the Internet of Things (IoT), acquisition of physical variables and digital signal processing. As of 2021, expanded his scope of activity to include the development of applications in the biomedical field. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
