Author

Marko Simicic received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering and information technology from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, in 2010 and 2012 respectively. He obtained a PhD degree from the department of electrical engineering ESAT, KU Leuven, Belgium in 2018. In 2017 he joined the ESD team in imec, Belgium. He is a certified ESD control program manager since 2022. He has authored or co-authored more than 35 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. His current research area is rather wide and includes ESD device and circuit design in advanced semiconductor and 3D/2.5D stacking technologies, novel ESD testing and ESD control process assessment.
