Davide Bertozzi
University of Manchester

Davide Bertozzi has been a Reader in Computer Science at University of Manchester (UK) since 2023. He is also a member of the International Centre on Neuromorphic Computing at the same university and a guest scientist at IHP Microelectronics, a Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics in Germany. He got his PhD at University of Bologna (Italy) in 2003 and joined University of Ferrara (Italy) as an Assistant Professor in 2004 and as an Associate Professor in 2020. The mission of his research is to stay at the forefront of system innovation by leveraging the enabling properties of interconnection architectures and emerging technologies. He has been visiting researcher at Stanford University (USA) and at several semiconductor industries (STMicroelectronics, NEC America Labs, NXP Semiconductors, Samsung Electronics). In 2018 he received the Wolfgang Mehr Award for his interdisciplinary microelectronic research. He is currently involved as PI in several EU-funded projects, spanning from AI Chip design (TAICHIP) to neuromorphic computing (EBRAINS 2.0, AIDA4Edge) through EDA for reliable electronics (TWIN-RELECT). He is also project co-lead for the UK Innovation and Knowledge Centres on heterogeneous integration (CHIMES) and on neuromorphic hardware (Neuroware). His scientific activity has led to roughly 200 peer-reviewed publications, with five best paper awards, four best paper award nominations and one high-impact paper award for one of the five most cited papers in the first thirty years of the Int. Conference of Computer Design.
