Research
Interests
I am heading the Intelligent Sensory Microsystems
Laboratory at the University of Toronto. Members of our laboratory conduct
research on analog and digital VLSI circuits, systems and algorithms for
energy-efficient signal processing with applications to electrical, chemical
and photonic sensory information acquisition, biosensor arrays, brain-chip
neural interfaces, CMOS imagers, parallel signal processing, adaptive
computing, and implantable and wearable biomedical electronics.
Information for Prospective Graduate
Students: UPDATED ON OCTOBER 11, 2010
Current openings include
research assistantships in the area of implantable
wireless integrated circuits for brain neural activity monitoring and
modulation (including RF transceiver design, inductive powering circuit design, ADC/DAC
design, on-chip mixed-signal VLSI signal processing, integration with MEMS microelectrodes,
and in vivo experimentation with animals), wireless
integrated circuits for optical and electrochemical DNA analysis (including spectrum
sensing photosensor arrays design, sensory information acquisition circuit
design, ADC/DAC design, on-chip mixed-signal VLSI signal processing, RF transceiver
circuits, high-voltage CMOS circuit design, post-CMOS on-chip microelectrode
fabrication and integration with microfluidic/photonic structures), integrated circuits for gas sensors, and integrated circuits for patch-clamp electrophysiology. All projects are collaborative
with participants from multiple other disciplines.
Qualified students
interested in joining our lab are encouraged to apply for admission into our Ph.D.
or M.A.Sc. degree programs as well as the post-doctoral stream. Applicants with
a Bachelor degree can enroll directly into the Ph.D. program upon successful
completion of the first two semesters of studies. Admitted students generally
receive full financial support for the duration of their studies. The general application process is outlined
at http://www.ece.utoronto.ca/graduate/Electrical_and_Computer_Engineering-Graduate-Canada-application.htm You can also contact me, Prof. Roman Genov, by email
at roman[AT]eecg.utoronto.ca. Please attach your CV/resume in
pdf format (with clearly GPA stated) and your transcript if available. Sometimes I am not able to
answer all email inquiries but will keep them on file until the graduate office
has received all of your application materials (due on January 7 2011).
