The Electronic and Microelectronics Department (SEMI) at the University of Mons (UMons, Belgium) is a center of excellence in embedded systems, microelectronics, and reconfigurable computing. Led by Prof. Carlos Valderrama (IEEE Senior Member), SEMI bridges foundational research and industrial applications, with a strong focus on low-power design, smart sensors, and System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms. The department is internationally recognized for its contributions to hardware/software co-design, energy-efficient architectures, and biomedical/telecommunication technologies, supported by 150+ publications and collaborations with leading conferences (e.g., DAC, FPL) and journals (e.g., ACM TEC, Springer Nature).
