DESCRIPTION:Prof. F.Alimenti\, University of Perugia\nBio: Federico Alimen
 ti was born in Foligno\, Italy\, in 1968. He received the Laurea degree (m
 agna cum laude) and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Perugia\, Ital
 y\, in 1993 and 1997 respectively\, both in Electronic Engineering. In 199
 3 he held an internship at Daimler-Benz Aerospace\, Ulm\, Germany. In 1996
  he was recipient of the URSI young scientist award and visiting scientist
  at the Technical University of Munich\, Germany. Since 2001 he has been w
 ith the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering at the Univer
 sity of Perugia as a Research Associate\, teaching the classes of "Telecom
 munication Electronics" and "Microwave Electronics". Between 2006 and 2010
  he was a member of the Academic Senate in the same university. In 2012 he
  has been the recipient (first classified) of the "Element14 Medical Desig
 n Award". In 2013 he has been the recipient of the IET Premium (Best Paper
 ) Award and was the Technical Program Committee (TPC) Chair of the "IEEE W
 ireless Power Transfer (WPT)" Conference. His scientific interests concern
  the design and the experimental characterization of RF integrated circuit
 s in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. Recently he is focusing on RFID\, wirel
 ess sensors and RF electronics on green materials. He is the local coordin
 ator of the ARTEMOS project\, ENIAC\, call 3\, 2010. Federico Alimenti has
  authored more than 150 papers in referred journals\, conference proceedin
 gs\, several books chapters an Italian (RM2012A000190) and a European (EP1
 3161946.2) patent\, both on zero-power wireless sensor. The H-index of Fed
 erico Alimenti is equal to 11 (source Scopus). Federico Alimenti is Senior
  IEEE Member.\nIn the era of Internet of Things (IoT) more and more sensor
 s will be spread over the entire planet. The consequence of this will be a
 n increase of the pollution caused by the huge amount of electronic device
 s not correctly recycled. An alternative approach to ease this problem wil
 l be to re-think electronics starting directly from its eco-compatibility.
  This lecture will review the present state-of-the-art of green electronic
 s\, having in mind\, as a typical application\, an ultra-low cost wireless
  sensor. It will be shown that many electronic components\, even operating
  at RF frequencies\, can readily be fabricated exploiting cellulose-based 
 materials (paper) in conjunction with the most recent printing processes (
 adhesive laminates\, ink-jet printing\, etc.). Novel RFID concepts will al
 so be discussed\, showing that several building blocks are already availab
 le.
