Manuel Delgado-Restituto (IEEE M'96, SM'12) received the M.S. degree in Physics and the Ph.D. degree (with honors) on Physics-Electronics from the University of Seville, Spain, in 1988 and 1996, respectively. Since the Doctorate, he has been uninterruptedly working in the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville/CNM-CSIC (IMSE-CNM/CSIC). In September 1999, he obtained a permanent position as "Cientifico Titular del CSIC" (CSIC Tenured Scientist, equivalent to Assistant Professor) and in June 2009, he upgraded to "Investigador Cientifico CSIC" (CSIC Research Scientist, equivalent to Associate Professor). Along this tenured professional period, he has directed 8 Ph.D. theses and 9 M.S. theses in the field of mixed-signal integrated circuits. Additionally, he has participated in some 20 National and European funded Research Projects, 8 of them with the role of main researcher. Besides, he has participated in 4 industrial contracts and realized several consultant services to industry.

Along his career, he has developed/conducted R&D activities on bio-inspired microelectronics, including vision chips and neuro-fuzzy interpolators and controllers (1996-1999). He has also worked in the application of chaotic dynamics to instrumentation and communications, including the design and production of the first world-wide chaos-based communication MoDem chips (1991-2004). Dr. Delgado-Restituto has also contributed in the design of structured analog and mixed-signal design, including integrated circuits for wireless and power-line communication systems and data converters (1997-2010), and the design for reusability of analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks (1998-2001). Some of the chips developed during these activities were state-of-the-art in their respective fields and entered in mass production. Currently, he heads a research group in IMSE-CNM/CSIC on low-power medical electronics and works in the design of silicon microsystems to understanding biological neural systems, the development of neural prostheses and brain-machine interfaces, the implementation of wireless Body Area Network transceivers and the realization of RFID transponders with biomedical sensing capabilities (2005-).

Dr. Delgado-Restituto has coauthored the books Device-Level Modeling and Synthesis of High-Performance Pipeline ADCs (Springer, Singapore, 2011. ISBN 1441988459) and Ultra-Low Power Transceiver for Wireless Body Area Networks (Springer, 2013. ISBN 978-3-319-00097-8); around 20 chapters in contributed books, including original tutorials on chaotic integrated circuits, design of data converters and chips for bioengineering and neuroscience; some 150 articles in peer-review specialized publications and 6 patents.

Dr. Delgado-Restituto is Senior Member of the IEEE and served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS-II: EXPRESS BRIEFS (2006-07) and for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS-I: REGULAR PAPERS (2008-11). He served as Deputy Editor-in-Chief (2011-13) and as Editor-in-Chief (2014-15) for the IEEE JOURNAL ON EMERGING AND SELECTED TOPICS IN CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS. He is currently Vice President for Publications of IEEE CAS (2016-). He is in the committee of different international conferences, including the European Solid-State Circuit Conference; he is member of the IEEE CAS Biomedical Circuits and Systems (BioCAS) technical committee, and has served as technical program chair in different international IEEE conferences, including ECCTD 2007, ESSCIRC 2010 and ICECS 2012.
