Present position Gregory Di Pendina, Ph. D.
Engineer - Researcher at CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research)
Current interest
Dr. Gregory Di Pendina is an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) designer specialized in non-volatile applications, based on MRAM technologies, using all generations of Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ). His background comprises full custom and digital design, Hybrid Process Design Kit (H-PDK) development, Design For Testing (DFT), integrated circuit test and characterization. His field of interest are presently mainly <radiation hardening based on MRAM non-volatile asynchronous circuits>, <MRAM-based low power digital circuits>, <ultra-fast MRAM memory based on Spin Orbit Torque MRAM>, <MRAM-based circuit security evaluation and improvment>.
He received his Ph. D in 2012 from the University of Grenoble, France, and his Master degree in 2005 from the University Joseph Fourier of Grenoble, France. He first spent 13 years in the Circuits Multi-Projets / Multi Project Circuits (CMP) service unit of the CNRS offering a MPW fabrication service, as an engineer in design verification. He has been leading research activities from 2008 to 2012, on the topics of hybrid MEMS / CMOS fabrication and hybrid photovoltaic (PV, or organic photovoltaic (OPV), CMOS systems, at integrated circuit and device level.
His Ph. D. was a collaboration between CMP unit and SPINTEC Lab. Then he joined in 2012 SPINTEC Lab as an Engineer - Researcher, involved in several research projects as non-volatile design and test expert and, and also supervising Ph. D students and post-docs. He has been involved in French ANR research projects, ERC and FP7 european projects and in eVaderis startup creation as technical support. He is author or co-auhor of more than 50 scientific papers and owns 10 patents and 3 book chapter contributor. His bibliography is listed below.
