Danilo Di Febo PhD
Modeling, design and optimization of electronic package
Danilo Di Febo was born in Atri (TE), Italy, in 1980. He received the Laurea degree in electronic engineering in 2009 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and information engineering in 2013, both from the University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy.
The main focus of his activities was modeling and analysis of complex system, signal and power integrity on PCB, signal and power integrity on complex system that involve board placed in the final position, cables and all the connections, EMC analysis of integrated system.
In the past he worked on IBIS files, improving their function and correct all the errors generated by IBIS rules checker, using a standalone tolls developed in Java, on EMC on satellite modules and avionic equipment’s, and on FSV feature selective validation, a tool that implement an IEEE strategy to compare data using an engineering approach.
Currently he is working as application engineer at CST.
PCB Trace and Via Temperatures; How To Deal With Real World Variables
Douglas Brooks has a BS/EE and an MS/EE from Stanford and a PhD from the University of Washington. He has spent most of his career in electronic manufacturing industries, rising through the ranks to General Manager and President of his own firm. For the last 20 years he has owned a small engineering service firm and written numerous technical articles on Printed Circuit Board Design and Signal Integrity issues. He has published two books on these topics (Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design, Prentice Hall, 2003 and PCB Currents; How They Flow, How They React, Prentice Hall, 2013). He has also given seminars on PCB signal integrity several times a year across the US, as well as Moscow, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Canada.
Most recently, Brooks has collaborated with Dr. Johannes Adam (Adam Research, Leiman, Germany) on PCB current/temperature relationships. The collaboration has resulted in numerous articles and a book, PCB Trace and Via Currents and Temperatures: The Complete Analysis (available through Amazon.com, 2016). His primary focus in all of these efforts has been making complex technical issues easily understood by those without advanced degrees.
Brooks is now retired and lives in Seattle, WA., with his wife of 49 years. They have three children and 7 grandchildren.
