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).
