Abstract: In this talk, I will present a brief overview of biomedical research in my group at the University of Florida. I will focus primarily on short-range transponder designs for various in-body biomedical devices. I will discuss some of the challenges associated with system integration and present an overview of the various circuit building blocks for sensing, processing, power management, wireless power transfer and bi-directional data communication from within the body. I will do so in the context of a few application test cases, such as ingestible electronics pills, neural recording devices and implants for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging.

Short Bio: Dr. Rizwan Bashirullah received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Central Florida and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University (NCSU), in 1999 and 2004, respectively. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida in 2004, where he is currently a tenured Associate Professor. His research interests are in mixed-signal circuits for biomedical applications, power delivery systems and on-chip/off-chip signaling subsystems. He has authored or coauthored over 100 referred technical papers in conferences and journals. Dr. Bashirullah served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering and the Conference Organizing Chair for Biomedical Wireless Technologies, Networks, and Sensing Systems (BioWireleSS). He has also served in Technical Program Committees for ISQED , ISLPED, ISCAS , RWS, MTT -S and BioCAS. In 2009, he co-founded eTect Inc., a biomedical company that develops applications for its novel in-vivo wireless communications platform for monitoring medication compliance. In 2013 he was a member of the Circuits Research Group (CRG) at Nvidia Research, NC, and in 2014 he was a Visiting Professor at KU Leuven and IMEC , Belgium. Dr. Bashirullah is the recipient of the 2010 Inventor Recognition Award at the University of Florida, the 2011 Microwave Magazine Best Paper Award of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) and the 2005 National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Career Development Award.
