Prof. F.Alimenti, University of Perugia Bio: Federico Alimenti was born in Foligno, Italy, in 1968. He received the Laurea degree (magna cum laude) and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Perugia, Italy, in 1993 and 1997 respectively, both in Electronic Engineering. In 1993 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 with the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering at the University of Perugia as a Research Associate, teaching the classes of "Telecommunication 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 Design 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 Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)" Conference. His scientific interests concern the design and the experimental characterization of RF integrated circuits in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. Recently he is focusing on RFID, wireless sensors and RF electronics on green materials. He is the local coordinator of the ARTEMOS project, ENIAC, call 3, 2010. Federico Alimenti has authored more than 150 papers in referred journals, conference proceedings, several books chapters an Italian (RM2012A000190) and a European (EP13161946.2) patent, both on zero-power wireless sensor. The H-index of Federico Alimenti is equal to 11 (source Scopus). Federico Alimenti is Senior IEEE Member. |

In the era of Internet of Things (IoT) more and more sensors will be spread over the entire planet. The consequence of this will be an increase of the pollution caused by the huge amount of electronic devices not correctly recycled. An alternative approach to ease this problem will be to re-think electronics starting directly from its eco-compatibility. This lecture will review the present state-of-the-art of green electronics, 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 also be discussed, showing that several building blocks are already available.
