Outlooking beyond Nanoelectronics and Nanosystems

Simon Deleonibus was chief scientist with CEA-Leti, a technology research unit of French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, where his research focused on architectures of micro- and nanoelectronic devices. He retired in January 2016. Before joining CEA-Leti in 1986, he was with Thomson Semiconductors (1981–1986), where he developed advanced microelectronic devices and products. He obtained his PhD in applied physics from Paris University, France (1982). He is a visiting professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, since 2014; National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, since 2015; and Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, since 2016. Dr Deleonibus is a distinguished CEA research director (2002), IEEE distinguished lecturer (2004), fellow of the IEEE (2006), and emeritus fellow of the Electrochemical Society (2015). He is a recipient of the titles Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite (2004), Chevalier de l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques (2011), the Grand Prix de l’Académie des Technologies (2005), and IEEE Cledo Brunetti Award (2022).
