Federico Bizzarri was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1974. He received the Laurea (M.Sc.) five-year degree (summa cum laude) in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Since October 2018 he is an associate professor at the Electronic and Information Department of the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, where he had been a temporary research contract assistant from June 2010. In 2009 he was a post-doctoral research assistant in Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems for Information and Communication Technologies ''E. De Castro'' (ARCES) at the University of Bologna, Italy. From 2002 to 2008 he had been a post-doctoral research assistant in the Biophysical and Electronic Engineering Department of the University of Genova, Italy. In 2000 he was a visitor to EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. He is a research fellow of the Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems for Information and Communication Technologies ''E. De Castro'' (ARCES) at the University of Bologna, Italy. He served has as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems --- Part I from 2012 to 2015 and he was awarded as one of the 2012-2013 Best Associate Editors of this journal. In 2103, 2015 -- 2019, he has been a member of the Review Committee and in 2018 the Co-Chair for the Nonlinear Circuits and Systems track at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE Society since 2014 a member of the IEEE Nonlinear Circuits and System Society Technical Committee since 2015. He is the author or co-author of about 100 scientific papers, more than an half of which have been published in international journals.
The list of his publications can be found at https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6568-6491.  His main research interests are in the area of nonlinear circuits, with emphasis on chaotic dynamics and bifurcation theory, the circuit models of nonlinear systems, image processing, circuit theory and simulation. Since 2011 he holds the Elettrotecnica (Basic Circuit Theory) course at Politecnico di Milano.
