Biography

Fabio Somenzi received the Dr. Eng. degree in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 1980, filing a thesis on automatic test pattern generation for sequential circuits. He was with SGS-Thomson Micro-electronics from 1982 to 1989 as responsible for computer-aided digital design.

From 1984 to 1987 he taught digital logic design at the Computer Science Department of the University of Milano, Italy. In 1987 he visited the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of the University of California, Berkeley. Since 1989 he has been an with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he is currently a Full Professor.
