Jorge Fernández-Berni received the B.Eng. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication in 2004, the M.Sc. degree in Microelectronics in 2008, and the Ph.D. degree with honors in 2011, all from the University of Seville, Spain. He joined the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville (IMSE-CNM-CSIC) in 2006, following a brief period in the telecommunication industry and an early research stay at the Department of Instrumentation and Space Exploration of the Center for Astrobiology (CAB-CSIC), Madrid.
He has held visiting researcher positions at the Cellular Sensory and Optical Wave Computing Laboratory of the Computer and Automation Research Institute (SZTAKI), Budapest, Hungary; the Image Processing and Interpretation Group (TELIN-IPI), Ghent University, Belgium; NDnano—The University of Notre Dame’s Center for Nanoscience and Technology, USA; and Institut Pascal, Université Clermont Auvergne, France. From January 2016 through December 2017, he was a recipient of a Juan de la Cierva Research Fellowship awarded by the Spanish Government. Since January 2018, he has been an Associate Professor at the University of Seville.
His main research interests include smart CMOS image sensors and low-power analog and mixed-signal architectures for intelligent sensing and perception. His work also addresses computing paradigms for embedded multi-sensor systems, applied to nature monitoring. Dr. Fernández-Berni has co-authored some 85 publications in refereed journals and conferences related to these topics. He is also co-author of two books and several book chapters and is the first inventor of two licensed patents. He has participated in some 25 research projects, serving as principal investigator in several of them, including technology-transfer initiatives. Dr. Fernández-Berni was the main academic promoter of the spin-off biodAIverse (now biotfy), which received multiple recognitions.
He is a member of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Technical Committees on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and Memristor Array Computing and on Sensory Systems. He currently serves on the Academic Committee of the Doctoral Program in Physical Sciences and Technologies and is Coordinator of the Master in Microelectronics: Design and Applications of Micro/Nanoscale Systems at the University of Seville.
