Stef van Zanten received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (cum laude) in electrical engineering from the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, in 2018 and 2020, respectively. In 2025, he obtained a PhD degree from the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, in the analysis and design of capacitive stacking mixer-first receivers.

His research interests include the analysis and design of CMOS RF front ends. He has (co-)authored three technical journal publications and one conference contribution, and received the ISSCC 2024 Van Vessem Outstanding European Paper Award for his work on highly linear mixer-first receivers.
