Salvador Pinillos Gimenez was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1962. He received a graduate degree in Electrical Engineering from UMC University, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1984. He earned his M.S. (Microelectronics Laboratory, LME) and Ph.D. (Integrated Systems Laboratory, LSI) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1990 and 2004, respectively. He worked as a Product Engineer at Dimep S.A (1987-1992), and Tracecom Telecommunications Systems S.A (1993). From 1994 to 1999, he worked at Ford (Electronic Division, after Visteon) in Guarulhos, Sao Paulo, Brazil, as a Component Engineer and Supply Quality Assurance and then Quality & Productivity Coordinator. Since 1999, he has been a professor and researcher at FEI University Center, Brazil, and became a full professor in 2010. He has authored textbooks on Microcontrollers and holds industrial patents on MOSFET with innovative gate geometries. His major fields of study include innovative non-standard MOSFETs structures, analog and digital CMOS ICs designs, and evolutionary electronic by developing analog CMOS ICs tools. Dr. Gimenez is a member of the Microelectronic Brazilian Society (SBMicro) and IEEE member (M'13). Since October 2015, he has participated on the editorial board (Associate Editor) of the Electronics Letters Journal (Institution of Engineering and Technology, IET - England, Wales, and Scotland).
