From 2013 until 2020 he served as representative of IMEC from Belgium in Brazil.
Jacobus Swart authored and co-authored so far 76 journal papers and 220 articles in conference proceedings. [3] [4] [5] He is author of an engineering teaching book entitled Semicondutores: Fundamentos, técnicas e aplicações. [6] He gave numerous invited talks and participated in round table discussions, summum up 190 times. He is a Distinguished Lecturer of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. His research topics include silicon and compound semiconductor technologies, device modeling and circuit design. He supervised over 60 thesis and dissertations at USP and University of Campinas (Unicamp).
Brazilian Silicon Valley is a term commonly applied to the region of Campinas and in southern region this term is applied for Florianópolis city, Brazil because of its similarity to the 'original' Silicon Valley, located in California in the USA.
The State University of Campinas, commonly called Unicamp, is a public research university in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
The University of São Paulo is a public university in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. It is the largest Brazilian public university and one of the country's most prestigious educational institutions. USP is involved in teaching, research and university extension in all areas of knowledge, offering a broad range of courses.
Science and technology in Brazil has entered the international arena in recent decades. The central agency for science and technology in Brazil is the Ministry of Science and Technology, which includes the CNPq and Finep. This ministry also has a direct supervision over the National Institute for Space Research, the National Institute of Amazonian Research, and the National Institute of Technology (Brazil). The ministry is also responsible for the Secretariat for Computer and Automation Policy, which is the successor of the SEI. The Ministry of Science and Technology, which the Sarney government created in March 1985, was headed initially by a person associated with the nationalist ideologies of the past. Although the new minister was able to raise the budget for the science and technology sector, he remained isolated within the government and had no influence on policy making for the economy.
