Biography

Mattias Palm (Andersson prior to June 2014) was born in Lund, Sweden, in 1982. He received the M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Lund University in 2006. His Master’s thesis work was performed at Ericsson Research on the design of a wide tuning-range CMOS VCO for DVB-H. From 2006 to 2009, he was working at Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) as an Analog/RF IC design engineer, developing circuits in the radio transmitter. He received his Ph.D. degree in circuit design from Lund University in 2014, focusing on the design of continuous-time delta-sigma modulators for wireless communication, specifically filtering A/D converters (ADCs). Since 2014, he is with Ericsson Research, Lund, developing integrated circuits for cellular systems. His main research interests include analysis and design of high performance analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits and radio receivers.
