Jerome Folla Kamdem

Experienced Analog IC Design Engineer with a PhD in Applied Physics (Microelectronics specialization) and over 5 years of postdoctoral and R&D experience. Currently contributing to electro-optical front-end development at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. Demonstrated expertise in the design of broadband BiCMOS driver amplifiers, TIAs, and clock/data recovery (CDR) circuits for high-speed optical communication systems (100G–800G+). Proficient in Cadence Virtuoso and Keysight ADS for schematic and layout design, circuit simulation, and performance optimization. Hands-on experience with wafer-level testing using VNAs, probe stations, and spectrum analyzers, as well as MATLAB scripting for automated data acquisition and analysis. Experienced with mixed-signal simulation and electromagnetic tools such as Cadence EMX and Ansys HFSS. Proven ability to thrive in collaborative, international R&D environments, with a consistent record of innovation and publication. Recently received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) under Canada’s Federal Express Entry immigration program (September 2025), reflecting a long-term commitment to establish and contribute to Canada’s research and technology ecosystem.
