Marco Bianchessi

Marco Bianchessi received the degree in Electronic engineering at “Politecnico di Milano” in 1993. He joined STMicroelectronics where, from 1994 to 1998, has been the system engineer in the team that introduced the first family of digital audio devices in STM, developing A/D D/A converters, dedicated DSP and digital audio interfaces. In 1998 he took the responsibility of the development of the Bluetooth system and since then he became the official representative of STM in the Bluetooth SIG. Among other task he actively contributed to the definition of the Bluetooth 2.0 standard. Since 2004, his activities broaden, covering also application of MEMS sensors and Biomedical applications. He is currently leader of an R&D team, located in Milan and Lecce, with competences in system architectures, SW development, HW design, Optics and microfluidic. His main target is the development of innovative platforms, based on biochemical MEMS, to implement tests of DNA and other biological molecules. He is co-authors of several papers published on scientific journals and owner of more than ten patents in the fields of signal processing and microelectronics.
