E. Culurciello's Curriculum Vitae
Teaching
EENG993 Silicon-on-Sapphire Seminar
This course focuses on the new silicon-on-sapphire CMOS technology. The course will provide students with the knowledge of the silicon-on-sapphire technology, its devices and circuits. The course teaches basic integrated analog blocks and how to combine these circuits into systems for sensing and biomedical application. Target areas are in physiology, brain-machine interfaces, neural recording and stimulation, imaging and bio-imaging. Lecture will include details on operational amplifiers, voltage amplifiers, current mode circuits, analog to digital converters, photo-transduction circuits, layout, simulation and design of VLSI circuits and systems. System level lectures will be in the form of recent paper review and discussion. The class will mainly admit a graduate audience.

About Me
I was born on the 27th of June 1972 in Palmanova, Udine Italy. I grew up in a small (~15k inhabitants) northern Italian town (1h from Venice): Cervignano del Friuli (UD).
I attended high-school at the Scientific Lyceum of Cervignano. I started college at the University of Udine as student of Industrial Engineering. After two years, I moved to the University of Trieste, where I graduated on the 18th of July 1997. There I worked in the DEEI (Electric's, Electronics & Computer Science Department, at the University of Trieste). My MS major was bioengineering, with an interest in artificial vision and biomedical instrumentation.
During my undergraduate and MS studies, my main interest was modeling of the human saccadic system, taught and guided by two outstanding professors: Agostino Accardo and Paolo Inchingolo, at the University of Trieste. My senior design project was the design of an acquisition board for electrocardiogram or ECG (with professor Accardo).
In 1997 I worked for professor Ernst Niebur on a 6-months project on eye-tracking for virtual reality. In this project, we simulated the human fovea on a computer screen using an eye tracker and assessed the quality of presentations. This work was documented in my Italian MS thesis.
From 1998 to 2004 I was a Ph.D. Student at the Electrical & Computer Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University, interested in neuromorphic VLSI design. My research advisor was Andreas G. Andreou. My PhD thesis focused on bio-mimetic vision systems and efficient data communication in Silicon-on-Insulator processes. I collaborated with Ralph Etienne-Cummings in the characterization and design of address-event image sensors. I also collaborated with Kim Strohbehn and Steve Jaskulek at Applied Physics Laboratory on the design of radiation-tolerant circuit in Silicon on Sapphire.
I am now an assistant professor of Electrical Engineering at Yale university. Information about my work can be found on the department web site or the E-lab Research web page.
