Francesco Gramuglia

Francesco Gramuglia (Student Member, IEEE) major in electronics, received the B.S. degree in biomedical engineering and the M.S. degree in electronics engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy in 2013 and 2016, respectively. Since 2017, he has been working toward the Ph.D. degree with the EPFL, the Advanced Quantum Architecture laboratory (AQUA). From 2015 to 2016, he was a Trainee with the STORMlab of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, where he collaborated on the development of robotic endoscope platforms. In 2016, he was the recipient of the Best Application Prize and Overall Winner at Surgical Robot Challenge during the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics at Imperial College, London, 2016. In 2021, he was the recipient of the the First Place Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) Student Paper Award. His research interests include the design of deep-submicron Si-SPAD and SPAD-based detectors in standard CMOS and BCD technologies, and system development for use in several applications based on single photon detection, e.g. Time-of-flight Positron emission tomography (TOFPET).
