Short presentation

Wendell Sousa holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 2024 and has been involved in several research projects, most of them focused on microelectronics, particularly in the design and layout of analog integrated circuits as the operational amplifiers and oscillators. Currently, he is a PhD student at Université Grenoble Alpes with a focus on designing CMOS-compatible RF switches with integrated optical actuation, using a multiphysics approach to improve performance.
