Michiel Steyaert was Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Science from 2012 until 2020. He was in 1988 a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Between 1989 and 1996 he was appointed by the National Fund of Scientific Research (Belgium) and as associated professor at the Laboratory ESAT-MICAS, KULeuven. Since 1997 he is a Full Professor at the Laboratory ESAT-MICAS, KULeuven. He was the Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department from 2005 until 2012. He is current research interests are in high-performance and high-frequency analog integrated circuits for telecommunication systems, analog signal processing and power management CMOS techniques. Prof. Steyaert authored or co-authored over 950 papers in international journals or proceedings and co-authored over 31 books. He received among the first in Belgium an ERC-advanced grant for the design of CMOS mm-wave circuits, and received as first Belgium Engineering Science the Methusalem grant for the implementation of CMOS Power management circuits.

Michiel Steyaert received the 1990 and 2001 European Solid-State Circuits Conference Best Paper Award. He received the 1991 and the 2000 NFWO Alcatel-Bell-Telephone award for innovative work in integrated circuits for telecommunications. Prof.Steyaert received the 1995 and 1997 IEEE-ISSCC Evening Session Award, the 1999 IEEE Circuit and Systems Society Guillemin-Cauer Award and is an IEEE-Fellow since 2003. He received the ISSCC 2016 Distinguished-Technical-Paper Award and the 2017 Jan Van Vessem Award for Outstanding European Paper. He received, and is the only European researcher who received not only in 2003 the 50th anniversary top ISSCC contributors award, but also in 2013 the 60th anniversary top ISSCC contributors award and in 2023 the 70th anniversary top ISSCC contributors award for his strong and sustained contributions. He was supervisor of 64 graduated Ph.D. students. He was one of the first European researchers to achieve an ERC Advance Grant (2008) and is currently an Methusalem Research Grant Holder.
