Biography

Peter Baltus is a Full Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Integrated Circuits group within the Department of Electrical Engineering. He specializes in high-frequency integrated circuit system design, with expertise in analog design, transceiver systems, and RF analog circuit design. His interests lie in developing low-power transceivers that function at high frequencies, particularly focusing on innovative real-world challenges. His recent projects include developing low-latency, highly reliable wireless transceivers, efficient wideband beamforming systems, and wireless power transfer at millimeter-wave frequencies, as well as creating monolithic sensors for exploring unknown environments through sensor swarms. Baltus holds a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from TU/e, earned in 1985, and completed his PhD in 2004. Before joining TU/e in 2007, he worked for Philips and NXP for 22 years in various roles, including research scientist and program manager, with a focus on data converters and microcontroller architecture. He has co-authored over 150 research papers and holds 16 patents. In 2006, he was awarded the Veder Award and, in 2013, was elected as a Master Tutor at TU/e.
