Dr Lydi Smaini was born in Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria, on 27 July 1974. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics from the University of South Toulon-Var, France, in 1998 and 2001, respectively, specializing in radio propagation, telecommunications, and remote sensing. His thesis work focused on pulse compression techniques and signal processing for atmospheric radars.

After graduation he worked for one year as an R&D electronics engineer for ALTEN, Marseille, France, where he developed a frequency agile radar transponder beacon (S and X bands) for navigation aid.

From 2002 to 2006 he was with STMicroelectronics in the RF System and Architecture Group for wireless communications, Geneva, Switzerland, where he worked on ultra wide-band impulse radio, 3G cellular phones, and advanced radio architectures for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology.

Dr Smaini joined Marvell Switzerland in July 2006, Etoy, Switzerland, where he is currently leading the RF System and DSP group working on deep sub-micrometer complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) telecommunication transceivers.
