Scientific Contributions
<\/strong>Dr. Rodrigo Picos (born in Palma, Spain, in 1973) is a Full Professor (Catedr\u00e1tico de Universidad) in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Construction at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), where he has developed his academic and research career focusing on electrical engineering, the compact modeling of emerging devices, and analog circuits. Over his trajectory, he has co-authored more than 150 papers in indexed journals and international conference proceedings, contributing to the shared knowledge in his field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His primary research interest centers on the characterization and modeling of memristive systems and devices. Memristors are key components for the development of future non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing architectures. His work focuses on developing compact models that help predict memristor behavior under different electrical conditions, aiming to facilitate their integration into practical circuit designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, he participates in research lines involving advanced hardware architectures, such as high-performance reconfigurable computing and intelligent cyber-physical systems for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. In these areas, the goal is to develop efficient and reliable hardware solutions. He also collaborates on the design of electronic systems for measuring ionizing radiation, which have applications in aerospace and medical monitoring, as well as in analog circuit testing and device characterization to improve electronic reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributions to Society
<\/strong>The work of Dr. Rodrigo Picos seeks to contribute to current technological and industrial needs.

Furthermore, his collaboration on systems for measuring ionizing radiation connects engineering with practical fields such as environmental safety and medical diagnostics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant part of his contribution to society is carried out through higher education at the Universitat de les Illes Balears. As a Professor, he has spent years teaching and training new generations of engineers and technical professionals in fields like Electronic Instrumentation and Device Modeling, helping them prepare for the local and national technology workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, as a Senior Member of the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) and a member of the Institut d’Investigaci\u00f3 Sanit\u00e0ria de les Illes Balears (IdISBa), he participates in international scientific communities and cross-disciplinary efforts, helping bridge engineering research with health and industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Contributions
<\/strong>Beyond the formal publications listed in ORCID, Dr. Picos contributes actively to the professional community and academia through leadership, mentorship, and international collaboration. He maintains a strong international profile, highlighted by his involvement in organizing international conferences, such as MOCAST, and his current role in the Organizing Committee for ISCAS 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the national level, he serves on the Board of Directors (Junta Directiva) of both the Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) and AESEMI (Asociaci\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola de la Industria de Semiconductores), supporting the growth and strategic representation of the microelectronics and semiconductor sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His commitment to education and talent development is reflected in his extensive mentoring record, having supervised more than 100 students through their undergraduate (TFG) and Master\u2019s (TFM) theses, as well as successfully advising 3 Ph.D. dissertations. Additionally, he participates in internal university governance and administrative tasks within the Department of Industrial Engineering and Construction at the UIB. He also regularly contributes to scientific dissemination as an anonymous reviewer for technical journals, coordinates outreach activities in STEM fields for secondary school students, and manages the research group’s laboratory infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n \n Small Signal Model for Flexible Memristors <\/a>\n <\/h3>\n
\n M Gater, R Picos, SG Stavrinides, AM Adawi, NT Kemp, LO Chua<\/span>\n IEEE Journal on Flexible Electronics, 2026<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/header>\n

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental framework for deriving the small-signal model of memristive devices from first principles. We establish the connection between the Jacobian of the memristor\u2019s governing equations (describing resistance r(x) and state dynamics f(x, vM)) and its frequency-domain impedance characteristics. The model predicts a distinctive pole-zero structure in the small-signal response,...<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
