Let’s Connect Intelligences

Abstract: Who remembers a world without cell phones, the Internet, and ChatGPT? Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) have enabled democratizing communications with ever-greater data exchanges. At the IMS laboratory, we invent the technology and systems that allow us to increase the communication potential from one generation to the next tenfold: goodbye 4G and soon 5G, we are making 6G with the following generation in our sights. What more can we connect and how? Get ready for the revolution where human and artificial intelligences will communicate in tomorrow’s networks with integrated circuits we will invent now. Bio: Dr. Francois Rivet received his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in 2005 and 2009 from the University of Bordeaux, France. Since June 2010, he has been tenured as an Associate Professor at the Bordeaux Institute of Technology (Bordeaux INP). His research is focused on the design of RFICs in the IMS Laboratory, the University of Bordeaux microelectronics laboratory. In 2014, he founded the “Circuits and Systems” research team. Dr. Rivet has publications in top-ranked journals, international and national conferences, and holds 20 patents. He is involved in several Steering and Technical Program Committees of flagship conferences. He was General Chair of the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC) in 2025 in San Francisco, USA. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society since 2024.
