Professor Spiros Vlassis received his B.Sc. (1994) in Physics, the M.Sc. (1996) in Electronics and Ph.D. (2000), all from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He has been working at principal or senior level positions for established and VC-funded startup companies. He holds full professor position in the Electronics Laboratory, University of Patras, Greece.
He has worked in the development of high-performance transceiver ASICs in CMOS and BiCMOS processes for the wireless market with key role in the design of DC/AGC servo loops, multiband active RC, MOS-C integrated filters, VGAs, signal detectors/indicators, and TCXO drivers.
Spiros Vlassis worked in the development of MEMS based clock generator ICs and MEMS consumer applications where he designed frequency dividers, ALC servo loops, BAW oscillator temperature stabilizer, and chopper stabilized amplifiers. Also, he has designed voltage regulators, extremely low-pass filters and step-up converters for CMOS transceiver ASICs for hearing aids.
Recently Dr. Vlassis has developed a series of high speed MPHY standard compliant serial interface blocks such as burst mode CDRs, high-speed phase interpolator, PLLs and receiver jitter testing verification.
He holds five patents and he has published over 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Spiros Vlassis’ research interests include battery less RF TAG for IoT applications, clock and data recovery and timing blocks for multi rate high speed serial links.
