Gaudenzio Meneghesso (IEEE S’95–M’97–SM’07- F’13) He graduated in Electronics Engineering at the University of Padova in 1992 working on the failure mechanism induced by hot-electrons in MESFETs and HEMTs. Since 2011 is with University of Padova as Full Professor. His research interests involve mainly the Electrical characterization, modeling and reliability of microelectronics devices, with particular emphasis on wide bandgap semiconductors. Within these activities he published more than 1000 technical papers (of which more than 100 Invited Papers and 18 best paper awards). Bibliometric indexes (updated August 2024): • Scopus: Documents: 694, Tot. Citations 16791, h-index: 59 • Google Scholar: Documents: 1300, Tot. Citations 22061, h-index: 69 He has been the Project Coordinator of a European project H2020 – InRel-NPower, and Scientific Coordinator of European project H2020 – GaN4AP - GaN for Advanced Power Applications”. He has been General Chairs of several conferences (IEEE IRPS 2020, ESSDERC/ESSCIRC 2014, TWHM 2013, WOCSEMMAD 2013, ESREF 2012, HETECH 2001 and 2008, and WOCSDICE 2001. He has been nominated to IEEE Fellow class 2013, with the following citation: “for contributions to the reliability physics of compound semiconductors devices”.

He graduated from Zhejiang University with a degree in Electronic Information Engineering, earned a master’s in Microelectronic Materials from KU Leuven, and completed a Ph.D. in Microelectronics at Nanyang Technological University. He held R&D roles at IMEC (Belgium) and A*STAR (Singapore), focusing on semiconductor materials and devices. In the industry, he worked as a senior engineer at GlobalFoundries and later as a technical manager at NXP Semiconductors, leading projects on CMOS process platforms and embedded NAND flash technologies. In 2019, he co-founded Smart Analysis Pte Ltd in Singapore, serving as CTO and developing commercial chip yield big data solutions. In 2021, he joined the School of Integrated Circuits, Zhejiang University. He currently leads the Yield Improvement and Product Development Departments at the Zhejiang CMOS Innovation Center. In this role, he has contributed to the rapid development of the region’s first 12-inch CMOS process and established China’s first fully domestic 12-inch fab yield management system. His research is published in top journals and conferences such as TED, EDL, ESWA, CAIE and DAC.

As the first author and corresponding author, Angyang Yu has published more than 30 scientific articles in many international journals. He had served as a teaching faculty in Liaoning University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology before he obtained his Ph.D. degree at Jilin University of China and performed his Postdoctor's research in Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research directions cover a wide range among physics, chemistry, as well as materials science. To list a few respresentitive research interests: 1. molecular spectra, 2. chemical kinetics, 3. molecular excited states, 4. molecular reaction dynamics and 5. engineering alloy design.
