This special session aims to bring together researchers, industry professionals, and practitioners to discuss the latest advances in the electronic circuits and system that can be used as interfaces with performance suitable for biomedical sensor applications.

We encourage the submission of original research contributions, case studies, and innovative applications related to this topic.

Giuseppe Ferri (Senior Member, IEEE) was born in L’Aquila, Italy, in 1965. He received the graduation degree in electronic engineering from the University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy, in 1988.
Since 1991, he has been a Researcher and Teach- ing Assistant, and since 2001, an Associate Profes- sor in electronics with the University of L’Aquila. Since 2013, he has been a Full Professor in elec- tronics with the University of L’Aquila where he teaches courses in analog electronics, integrated microelectronics and sensor interfaces for biomedical applications. In 1993, he was a Visiting Researcher with SGS-Thomson Milano, working in bipolar low-voltage op-amp design. From 1994 to 1995, he was a Visiting Researcher with KU Leuven working in low-voltage CMOS design in the group of Prof. Sansen. He is responsible for the group of integrated circuit analog design and for the Europractice contract for the University of L’Aquila. He has been a researcher at different Italian and international universities and research cen- ters and has taken part in several Italian and international research projects. He has coauthored four books and four textbooks in Italian on analogue microelectronics, and has authored or co-authored about 300 scientific works. His papers have been cited more than 5000 times and his H- factor is equal to 38 (updated to October 3, 2025, Scopus font). Since 2024, he has been the Coordinator of master’s course in electronic engineering with the University of L’Aquila. His research interests include the analog design of integrated circuits for portable applications (e.g., sensors and biomedicals) and circuit theory.
Prof. Ferri is the Managing Editor of Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers, an Associate Editor of Sensors MDPI, and IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS II.

Riccardo Olivieri (Student Member, IEEE) was born in L’Aquila, Italy. He received the mas- ter’s degree in electronics engineering (cum laude) from the University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy, in 2024, where he is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in wearable devices and circuits for biomedical applications.
His research interest includes the development of electronic interfaces for sensors, integrated cir- cuits, and biomedical applications.
Mr. Olivieri is currently a Reviewer for sev-eral international journals as well as IEEE TRANSACTION ON CIRCUIT AND SYSTEMS II, Sensors, and Actuators A: Physical, Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, MDPI Sensors, MDPI Electronics, MDPI JLPEA, Journal of Circuit, Systems and Computers.
