Curriculum Vitae

João Manuel Torres Caldinhas Simões Vaz

João Caldinhas Vaz, (IEEE S ´91, M ´98, SM'19), was born in Lisbon, Portugal, 1963. He received the Licenciatura, the MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 1982, 1991 and 1998, respectively. In 1989, he joined the Electronics Scientific Unit of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, IST, where he is an Associate Professor since 2023. He is a senior researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), Wireless Circuits-Lx research group, which is an Associate Laboratory of the Portuguese Ministry for Science and Technology since it foundation in 1991. Since 2021 he is the coordinator of High Frequency Electronics Research Cluster, from Wireless Technologies Thematic Line. Published 15 articles in journals, 57 in conference proceedings and one book chapter. Between 1992 and 2018 participated in 22 research projects and was Principal investigator in 6 of them. Supervised 2 PhD and 40 MSc theses. Has received 6 awards. Participated in 19 PhD (11 as Main arguer) and 19 MSc thesis jury committees, representing IST in 12 of them. Professor in charge of more than 45 course units. Created four IST course units related with baseband and radio-frequency microelectronic circuits (Radio Frequency Integrated Systems, Electronic Integrated Systems, Microwave Electronics, Telecommunications Microelectronics). Member of the Electronics Scientific Unit Management Committee in 2004, from 2021 to 2022, and since 2023, with responsibilities in laboratories, non-academic staff and finances. Member of the Coordination Scientific Committee representing the Electronics Scientific Area of the Electrical and Computer Engineering course (2013-2015). Manager and supervisor of the Electronics Scientific Area laboratories, concerning software/hardware facilities related with microelectronic courses (2003-2008 and 2009-2012). Since 2002, he is responsible for IST access to European Union Europractice IC project. Dr. Vaz has been one of the promoter of IST microelectronics courses, being the main responsible for the informatics infrastructure conception and management, concerning the hardware and the CAD/CAE software tools. Recently, he obtained financial support from IST EE department by wining an internal project whose objective is to improve the mentioned infrastructure in terms of users capacity and computation speed. This infrastructure revealed its importance during pandemic situation, allowing students to work remotely from their residences. Dr. Vaz is a senior member of IEEE, and member of MTT, SSC and CAS societies. Was chair of the MTT-AP-EDS joint chapter from IEEE Portugal Section (2013-2015). He was also the founder and student Counselor of IST IEEE student branch (2003-2009). Additionally, since 2004, Dr. Vaz has been a reviewer of IEEE TCAS I and II, and MTT Transactions, magazines and conferences. Member of the Portuguese Engineering Council since 1988. His research interests are radio frequency, microwave and millimeter waves integrated circuits and systems with CMOS and SiGe technologies. Special focus is given to CMOS transceivers front-end and back-end, high-efficiency power amplifiers and frequency synthesizers. Main applications are ultra-low power sensor nodes for IoT applications, WLAN portable devices, and fifth generation microwaves 30-40 GHz radios.
