Riccardo Rovatti was born in Bologna (Italy) on January 14th 1969. He received a Dr. Eng. degree (with honors) in
Electronic Engineering and a Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering
and Computer Science from the University of Bologna, Bologna in 1992
and 1996, respectively. Since 1997 he has been a lecturer of Digital
Electronics at the University of Bologna and since 2000 he is an
Assistant Professor of Analog and Digital Electronics at the same
University. His research interests include fuzzy theory foundations,
learning and CAD algorithms for fuzzy and neural systems, statistical
pattern recognition, function approximation, non-linear system theory
and identification as well as theory and applications of chaotic
systems. He authored or co-authored more than 100 international
scientific publications and he is co-editor of the book "Chaotic
Electronics in Telecommunications" (CRC Press, Boca Raton 2000). He
also served as Technical co-chairman for the 2000 IEEE Specialist
Workshop on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronics Systems (NDES2000) and
will serve as a co-guest editor for a special issue of the Proceeding
of the IEEE on "Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics to Electronic and
Information Engineering" which is due in 2002.
