Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of the CMOS bioelectronics research activities at ETH Zurich IDEAS Group directed by Professor Hua Wang. We will first present semiconductor technologies and integrated circuits as a powerful man-made “inorganic” platform for implementing sophisticated bioelectronics systems, while cells and molecules can serve as “organic” interfaces to the physical environments. We will introduce our research on cellular interfacing platforms, focusing on leveraging advanced CMOS for massively parallelism, multi-modality, and subcellular resolution. We will next introduce our molecular diagnostic research with various electrochemistry-based sensing platforms. Finally, we will present our research on processing bioelectronics surfaces and building novel interfaces. A summary and list of potential collaborations will conclude my talk.
Biography: Hua Wang is a full professor and chair of electronics at Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET) of Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETH Zürich). He is the director of the ETH Integrated Devices, Electronics, And Systems (IDEAS) Group. Prior to that, he was an associate professor with tenure at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Institute of Technology, USA. He held the Demetrius T. Paris professorship at School of ECE at Georgia Tech. He worked at Intel Corporation and Skyworks Solutions from 2010 to 2011. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
Dr. Wang is interested in innovating analog, mixed-signal, RF, and mm-Wave integrated circuits and hybrid systems for wireless communication, sensing, and bioelectronics applications. He has authored or co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers.
Dr. Wang is an IEEE Fellow. He received the DARPA Director’s Fellowship Award in 2020 (the first awardee in Georgia Tech’s history), the DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2018, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2015, the Qualcomm Faculty Award in 2020 and 2021, the IEEE MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer Award in 2017, the Georgia Tech Sigma Xi Young Faculty Award in 2016, the Georgia Tech ECE Outstanding Junior Faculty Member Award in 2015, and the Lockheed Dean’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2015.
His research group has won multiple academic awards and best paper awards, including the 2019 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar, the IEEE RFIC Best Student Paper Awards (2014, 2016, 2018, and 2021), the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Best Student Paper Award 2021, the IEEE CICC Outstanding Student Paper Awards (2015, 2018, and 2019), the IEEE CICC Best Conference Paper Award (2017), the 2016 IEEE Microwave Magazine Best Paper Award, and the IEEE SENSORS Best Live Demo Award (2016).
Dr. Wang has served as a Technical Program Committee (TPC) Member for IEEE ISSCC, RFIC, CICC, and BCICTS conferences and a Conference Steering Committee Member for IEEE RFIC and CICC. He is a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML) for the IEEE MTT society for the term of 2022-2024, and he was a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) for the IEEE SSCS society for the term of 2018-2019.
