BIOGRAPHY
Roman Genov received
the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Rochester Institute of
Technology, NY in 1996 and the M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and
Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD in 1998 and 2003
respectively.
Dr.
Genov held engineering positions at Atmel
Corporation, Columbia, MD in 1995 and Xerox Corporation, Rochester, NY in 1996.
He was a visiting researcher in the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland in 1998 and in
the Center for Biological and Computational Learning at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Cambridge, MA in 1999. He is presently a Full Professor in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto, Canada, where he is a member of Electronics
Group and Biomedical Engineering Group and the Director of Intelligent Sensory
Microsystems Laboratory.
Dr.
Genov’s research interests are primarily in analog/digital
integrated circuits and systems for energy-constrained biological, medical, and
consumer sensory applications, such as implantable, wearable and disposable
sensory microsystems, sensory-edge machine learning accelerators and wireless
sensors; applications include brain-chip interfaces, neuro-stimulators, image
sensors, and molecular biosensors.
Dr.
Genov is a co-recipient of Jack Kilby
Award for Outstanding Student Paper at IEEE
International Solid-State Circuits Conference, Best Paper Award of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and
Systems, Best Paper Award of IEEE
Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference, Best Student Paper Award of IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and
Systems, Best Paper Award of IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Sensory
Systems Technical Committee, Brian L. Barge Award for Excellence in
Microsystems Integration, MEMSCAP Microsystems Design Award, DALSA Corporation
Award for Excellence in Microsystems Innovation, and Canadian Institutes of
Health Research Next Generation Award. He was a Technical Program Co-chair at IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems
Conference and a member of IEEE
International Solid-State Circuits Conference International Program
Committee. He was also an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-II: Express Briefs and IEEE Signal Processing Letters, as well as a
Guest Editor for IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. Currently he is an
Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on
Biomedical Circuits and Systems and a member of IEEE European Solid-State Circuits Conference Technical Program
Committee.
