Georgia Tsirimokou   received B.Sc. degree in Physics and M.Sc. degree in Electronics and Communications from the University of Patras, Greece, in 2011 and 2013, respectively. She is currently a PhD candidate working with the analog Integrated Circuits Design group of the Electronics Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Patras, Greece. Her main research interests are focused on the design of ultra-low voltage analog signal processing blocks, including fractional-order filters as well as circuits for biomedical applications.

Costas Psychalinos   received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics and Electronics from the University of Patras, Greece, in 1986 and 1991, respectively. From 1993 to 1995, he worked as Post-Doctoral Researcher in the VLSI Design Laboratory, University of Patras. From 1996 to 2000, he was an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics, University of Patras. From 2000 to 2004 he served as Assistant Professor in the Electronics Laboratory, Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. From 2004 he serves as faculty member in the Electronics Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Patras, Greece and, currently, he is full Professor. His research area is in the continuous and discrete-time analog filtering, including fractional-order filters, companding filters, current amplifier filters, CCII and CFOA filters, and sampled-data filters, and in the development of ultra-low voltage building blocks for biomedical applications. He serves as Area Editor of the International Journal of Electronics and Communications (AEU) Journal, and Associate Editor of the Circuits Systems and Signal Processing Journal. He is member of the Editorial Board of the Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing Journal, and Microelectronics Journal. He is also an IEEE Senior Member. 

Ahmed Elwakil   was born in Cai

Discusses systematic design methods for deriving fractional–order circuits, including filters of arbitrary type and order, as well as tunable emulators of fractional-order capacitors and inductors

Demonstrates fractional-order circuits (e.g. filters and component emulators) which are suitable for implementation in silicon, with electronic adjustable characteristics and, also, experimental verification of their behavior

Describes applications of fractional-order fully integrated circuits in biology and medicine through practical design examples
