Biography

Guido Groeseneken received the M.Sc. degree in electrical and mechanical engineering (1980) and the Ph.D degree in applied sciences (1986), both from the KU Leuven, Belgium. In 1987 he joined the R&D Laboratory of IMEC (Interuniversity Microelectronics Center) in Leuven, Belgium. From 1987 until 2014 he was responsible for research in reliability physics for deep submicron CMOS technologies. From October 2005 until April 2007 he was also responsible for the IMEC Post CMOS Nanotechnology program within IMEC’s core partner research program. In 2007 he was elected to the grade of imec Fellow. He has supervised over 40 PhD students within imec in the field of novel CMOS and Beyond CMOS devices, electrical characterization and reliability. He is also Director of the Doctoral program and of Academic relations at imec. Since 2001 he is part time Professor at the KU Leuven, where he has been managing a European Erasmus Mundus Master program in Nanoscience and nanotechnology between 2005 and 2018. Since January 2005 he is elected to the grade of IEEE Fellow. He was the recipient of the 2017 IEEE Cledo Brunetti award for his contributions to the characterization and understanding of the reliability physics of advanced MOSFET nanodevice

He has served as a technical program committee member of several international scientific conferences, among which the IEEE International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM), the European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC), the International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), the IEEE Semiconductor Interface Specialists Conference (SISC) and the EOS/ESD Symposium. From 2000 until 2002 he also acted as European Arrangements Chair of IEDM. In 2005 he was the General Chair of the Insulating Films on Semiconductor (INFOS) conference, organized in Leuven, Belgium and in 2008 he co-organized the European ESREF conference in Maastricht, The Netherlands. In 2017 he was the Technical Program Co-chair of the ESSDERC conference which was organized in Leuven. Finally from 1999 until 2006 he acted as an editor of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. He was a member and chair of the IEEE EDS Fellow evaluation commission, of the IEEE J.J. Ebers award committee and of the IEEE Cledo Brunetti award commission.
