The scientific roots of DEIB research activities in Electronics date back to 1957 when Emilio Gatti was appointed to the first Professorship of Electronics in Italy. Following his vision, Electronics research at DEIB has always been carried out through a balanced mix of theoretical analysis and experimental activities.

Today, the research activity is carried out in 1400 square meters of laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art tools to design, simulate, and characterize the electrical and optical properties of a broad range of nano- and opto-electronic devices, sensors, integrated circuits, and systems. Devices and integrated circuits are fabricated either in the University’s clean room, PoliFab, or in collaboration with major semiconductor companies and research institutions.

A Faculty of 23 professors, supported by more than 70 Ph.D. students and post-doc researchers, teaches about forty courses on various subjects of Electronics Engineering at undergraduate and graduate level.
