Biography

Antonio Petraglia received the Engineer and M.S. degrees from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, in 1977 and 1982, respectively, and the PhD degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), in 1991, all in electrical engineering.

In 1979, he joined the Faculty of UFRJ as an Associate Professor of electrical engineering, where he served as a Co-Chair in the Department of Electronic Engineering from 1982 to 1984. During the second semester of 1991, he was a post-Doctoral researcher with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCSB. Since 1992 he has been on the faculty of the Program for Post-Graduate Engineering at UFRJ, where in 1997 he established the Laboratory for the Processing of Analog and Digital Signals. From March 2001 through March 2002 he was a Visiting Scholar with the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. He as been involved in teaching and research activities in the areas of mixed analog-digital signal processing and integrated circuit design.

Dr. Petraglia is currently serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing.
