Bio :

Thomas Finateu received the Master’s degree from the Electrical Engineering School of Bordeaux (ENSEIRB), France, in 2004 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2008. His dissertation was done at STMicroelectronics about, Crolles, France.
In 2008, he joined STMicroelectronics, Belgium as an analog engineer where he pursued his analog and RF work for Bluetooth transmitters mobile products.
In 2011, he joined SoftKinetic in Brussels, Belgium, now Sony DepthSensing Solutions. He has been working on Time Of Flight pixels and sensors as analog designer and project leader.
In 2015, he joined Prophesee, as senior analog designer and project leader. He has been working on bio-inspired pixels and sensors pushing further on-chip integration of analog and digital IPs, deeply involved in the joint development with Sony to mature the technology and make it ready for mass production. He is now VP sensor, with more than 20-year experience in the semiconductor industry and IC design.

Abstract :

After an overview on event-based sensors, upcoming trends regarding application domains will be introduced. It will justify the benefits of 3D integration while highlighting the challenges to face. But technology challenges are fortunately not the only ones, design and architecture challenges are arisen too such as edge-AI, multi-modality, multi-layer, pixel shrink, etc... Triple-layer stack and neural network such as GNNs can fill some of these gaps !
