Education Prof. De Venuto graduated in Electronic Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bari in 1989. In 1993 she received the PhD degree at the same University.

Visiting Positions In 1995 she took the position of associated researcher at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics working in the frame of the projects on silicon drift detector (DSI), pixel detectors telescope (ALICE Project at CERN Geneva Switzerland), and SIRTOD. In 2000 she spent a sabbatical year at the Ecole Polytecnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland), at the Laboratoire d���Electronique G��n��rale (LEG). During this time Prof. De Venuto was working within the European ���Eureka��� Project on design Hall sensor front-end and read-out ASIC in FD SOI technology (UCL, Belgium). Between July 2002 and July 2005, she has been Visiting Scholar at the University of Seattle, Washington (USA). Between August 2002 and 2006, she held the position of Visiting Lecturer at the University of Lancaster, Centre for Microsystems Engineering. As member of the Lancaster University, she worked in the European Project ���Testability of Analogue Macro-cells Embedded in System-On-Chip (TAMES-2)���. Furthermore she has also been involved in a second European project (still running) about the creation of an Excellence Network on Design and Test of Electronic Microsystems��� including sensor and MEMS (PATENT). During 2008-2009, she has been on sabbatical leave at NXP Semiconductors (IMEC Leuven, Belgium and at HighTechCampus in Eindhoven, The Netherlands) designing a novel low power 12 bit SAR ADC for RFID perishable product monitoring based upon an invitation NXP���s head of the R&D department. Since 2010 she has been visiting the IC Lab of NXP HTC Eindhoven working on the design of new concepts for smart temperature sensors for low power RFID application.

International and National Scientific Collaborations In 1997 Prof. De Venuto started a scientific collaboration with the University of Hannover, Germany and in 1998 with Alcatel Microelectronics, Bruxelles, Belgium, in the field of Design & Test of Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits. During the period 2003-2007, she has been responsible for the Politecnico di Bari for National Projects (PRIN03-PRIN05) on DNA detection systems in collaboration with the Universities of Bologna, Roma ���La Sapienza���, and Perugia. Since 2012 she is responsible of the national Project CESAR (two years) in the frame of national RIDITT initiative in collaboration with Confindustria, Confagricoltura, Distretto Agroalimentare Regionale and Universit�� di Bologna.

Research Recently, Prof. De Venuto has focused her research activity on the following two areas of interest: a) Design of silicon detectors, sensors, analog and mixed signal read-out circuits b) Testing of Analog and Mixed-Signal ICs and Design-for-Testability (DfT)

Prof. De Venuto has co-authored more than 100 papers published in international journals and in conference proceedings.

Service Prof. De Venuto is founder and Chair of the IEEE International Workshop on Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI). She is member of the editorial board and guest editor of international journals such as Microelectronics Journal Elsevier, IEEE Transaction on CAD and IEEE Sensors. She has been scientific committee member of IEEE international conferences and workshops, in particular IEEE ETS, DCS, ISQED and ASQED. She was also in the program committee of IMSTW and DATE. Furthermore, she served as reviewer for Microelectronics Journal, IEEE Transaction on CAD, IEEE Transaction on Circuit and System and IEE Electronics letters.

Honors and Awards She was named ISQED Fellow in 2010.

Teaching Prof. De Venuto taught at the Politecnico di Bari, at the University of Lecce, Italy, at the EPFL (Switzerland) and Lancaster University (UK) where she was lecturing on Analog and Digital Electronics, Electron Devices, Automatic Design of Electronic Circuits. She started the course of Design of Integrated Electronic Systems. In those disciplines she has been advisor to more than 100 Master Degree students also in collaboration with foreign universities and companies (i.e., Universitad Politecnica De Catalu��a Barcelona, EPFL Switzerland, Politecnico di Torino, MERMEC, MELSYSTEM, and ST Microelectronics). Prof. De Venuto is member of the Ph.D. Study Committee of Electronics at the Politecnico di Bari. In 2005 she served as advisor for the PhD Thesis of Mrs. Marija Blagojevic on ���SOI Mixed-Mode Design Techniques and Case Studies��� from the Technical Sciences at EPFL Lausanne. In 2008 she served as advisor for the PhD Thesis of Mr. Livier Lizarraga on ���Technique d���auto test pour les imageurs CMOS��� at Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble.
