Short presentation

Arthur Souza received a Bachelor’s degree (2021) and a Master’s degree (2023) in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG). Between 2018 and 2019, he participated in the BRAFITEC Exchange Program at ESISAR – Grenoble INP, specializing in Embedded Systems Electronics. His main research interests include Microelectronics, Radiofrequency, and sensor design, particularly for applications in energy and industrial systems. Currently a PhD student at Grenoble INP – UGA, he conducts his research at LCIS laboratory in collaboration with Idyllic Technologies. His doctoral work focuses on the design of a short impulse generator and sampler for ultra-wideband (UWB) short-range radar applications.
