Piero Malcovati was born in Milano, Italy in 1968. He received the "Laurea" degree (Summa cum Laude) in Electronic Engineering from University of Pavia, Italy in 1991. In 1992 he joined the Physical Electronics Laboratory (PEL) at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), Switzerland, as a Ph. D. candidate. He received the Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering from ETH Zurich in 1996.
From 1996 to 2001 he has been Assistant Professor and from 2002 to 2017 Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering (now Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering) of the University of Pavia. From 2017 Piero Malcovati is Full Professor in the same institution. His research activities are focused on microsensor interface circuits and high performance data converters. He authored and co-authored 84 papers in International Journals, 276 presentations at International Conferences (with published proceedings), 27 book chapters, and 10 industrial patents. He is co-recipient of the ESSCIRC 2007 best paper award and of the best student paper award at ESSCIRC 2015.
He was Guest Editor for the Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing for the Special Issues on IEEE ICECS 1999 and IEEE ICECS 2009, Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II from 2008 to 2010, and Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits for the Special Issues on IEEE ISSCC 2013. He served as Technical Program Chairman of the IEEE PRIME 2006 Conference, of the IEEE ICECS 2009 Conference, and of the IEEE PRIME 2013 Conference. He was and still is member of the Technical Program Committees for several International Conferences, including ISSCC, ESSCIRC, SENSORS, ICECS, DATE, and PRIME. He is Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, Regional Editor for Europe of the Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, and Deputy Editor in Chief for the Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing.
