14th Power Analysis & Design Symposium 2025 (VIRTUAL)

Christophe Basso is a Business Development Manager at Future Electronics in Toulouse, France, covering EMEA. Previously, at Onsemi, he led an application team dedicated to developing new offline PWM controller’s specifications. He has originated numerous integrated circuits among which the NCP120X series has set new standards for low standby power converters. He holds 25 patents on power conversion.

Christophe has published numerous books on power supply design and, in particular, small-signal modeling with his title from 2021, Transfer Functions of Switching Converters. He taught many public and private seminars world-wide but also during the IEEE-sponsored conference APEC in the US.

Christophe has over 25 years of power supply industry experience. Prior to joining Future Electronics in 2021, Christophe was a Technical Fellow at Onsemi and an application engineer for Motorola Semiconductor in Toulouse. Before 1997, he worked at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, for 10 years. He holds a diplôme universitaire de technologie from Montpellier University (France) and an MSEE from the Institut National Polytechnique of Toulouse (France). He is an IEEE Senior member.

Arturo Mediano is the founder of The HF-Magic Lab®, a specialized laboratory for design, diagnostic, troubleshooting, and training in the EMI/EMC, Signal Integrity, and RF fields at I3A (University of Zaragoza). 
He received his M.Sc. (1990) and his Ph. D. (1997) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Zaragoza (Spain), where he has held a teaching professorship in EMI/EMC/RF/SI since 1992. 
For more than 30 years Arturo has been involved in R&D projects with many companies in the EMI/EMC, Signal Integrity and RF fields for communications, industry, medical, and scientific applications. He regularly shares his knowledge and expertise with students and engineers in teaching courses and seminars.

Axel Schmidt received a bachelor’s degree from University of Applied Science of Bochum, Germany and has more than 25 years of experience in passive components. He works for more than 17 years as a Field Application Engineer for KEMET Electronics a world wide manufacturer of capacitors. In this role he is working with German car makers ( AUDI, BMW Daimler and VW ) as well as with semiconductor companies around Munich  (Infineon, TI, Analog, ON Semi) evaluating designs together with customers. Axel delivers in addition lectures at University of Applied Science Kufstein, Austria for smart product solutions.

Florian Hämmerle went to the Bregenz Electrical Engineering College (HTL). After that, he studied Mechatronics at the University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg (FHV), where he carried out his Master thesis "Simulation and Characterization of a Miniaturized Planar Coil" at the Research Center for Microtechnology.
Since 2010, Florian is working at OMICRON Lab with a strong focus on power electronics applications for the Bode 100 VNA.

Jan Petrik is a hardware engineer with more than 9 years of experience in hardware design. He graduated with honors from Czech Technical University in Prague in 2013. Since then, Jan has gained his experience working mostly in medical and aerospace industries. He is passionate about analog electronics, power integrity, EMC and circuit simulations. Jan enjoys figuring out complexities of quality hardware design, that stand the tests of EMC chamber, mass production and time. Since 2021, he has been freelancing, offering design and consultancy services. When not in his laboratory, Jan enjoys spending time with his family and climbing. He enjoys learning new stuff, sharing accumulated knowledge and quality discussion.
