Biography

S. M. Rezaul Hasan received his Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He was a VLSI design engineer at Xerox Microelectronics Center in El Segundo, California, where he worked in the design of CMOS VLSI microprocessors for 3 years. He then moved to the Asia-Pacific region and served several institutions including Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia and Universiti Sains Malaysia, Perak, Malaysia. At University Sains Malaysia he held the position of Associate Professor and was the coordinator of the Analog and VLSI research laboratory. He spent the next four years in Sharjah, UAE, where he served as an Associate Professor of Microelectronics, Integrated Circuit Design & VLSI Design in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. While in Sharjah he received the Sharjah Award for outstanding research publication in Integrated Circuit Design. Presently he is the Director of the Center for Research in Analog and VLSI microsystems dEsign (CRAVE) at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand. He is also an Associate Professor in Computer Engineering teaching courses in Advanced Microelectronics and Integrated Circuit Design. He has so far published 88 journal (including 29 IEEE Journal/Transactions papers) and 100 conference papers in the areas of Analog, Digital, RF and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuit and VLSI Micro-system Design, as well as, in Biological circuit design and cyto-electronics. Dr. Hasan has also served as consultant for many electronics companies. His present areas of interest include Analog, Digital and RF Integrated Circuit and Micro-system Design, VLSI systems, CMOS integrated MEMS, CMOS Microbioelectronics, Energy Harvesting CMOS, synthetic biology and Biological (gene-protein) Circuit Design, and, has achieved “World class excellence” in research. Dr. Hasan is a Senior Member of the IEEE, and, an Editor for the Journal of active and passive electronic components.
