He joined the Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute an Assistant Professor in 2005. He is also a recipient of the Stanford-Berkeley Innovators Challenge Award in biological sciences. He was elected to both IEEE Sensors and IEEE BioCircuits technical committees in 2006. His work on low light detection and fully integrated imagers has been funded by DARPA and NIH. Recently, he organized two special sessions on “Sensory Circuits and Systems for Biological Applications” at the IEEE International Symposium on circuits and systems (ISCAS'05) and a special session on “Neural Prosthesis” at ISCAS'06. He coauthored 25 papers and 3 pending patents in the areas of high dynamic range CMOS image sensors (focal plane arrays), Vision Chips, biosensors, low-power mixed-signal circuits for intelligent sensors, medical instrumentation and sensor interface architectures and circuits.
