Anna Richelli was born in Brescia (Italy) in 1974. She received the D.Eng. degree from the University of Brescia, Italy, in 2000
and the Ph.D. degree in "Electronic Instrumentation" from the same University in 2004. In the same year she won a Post-Ph. D.
position at the Department of Electronics for Automations (DEA) in Brescia. From 2005 to 2007 she was with the Department of
Electronics for Automation (DEA) in Brescia, where currently she is Assistant Professor and Research Associate in Electronics
(the current name of the Department is now Dept. of Information Engineering). She teaches the courses of "Design of integrated
analog systems" and she is Assistant Professor for the courses of "Fundamental of Linear
Electronics", "Electronics Circuit Design", "Microelectronics" and "Power electronic devices". Her research activities include
electromagnetic interference analysis in integrated circuits, integrated voltage converters based on capacitors or on inductors,
and the design of Ultra-Low Voltage analog circuits.
She is author of many international scientific publications, including articles in journals and in conference proceedings, and of 3
international patents. She is Member of the IEEE.
