FlexICoN's Negar Reiskarimian will join the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as an assistant professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer science in fall 2019. Her research interests include integrated circuits and systems, applied electromagnetics, and nanophotonics, with a focus on analog, radio-frequency, millimeter-wave and optical integrated circuits, metamaterials, and systems for a variety of applications, from emerging wireless communications paradigms to IoT, imaging, sensing, and opto/bio-electronics.
“I am interested in answering fundamental questions that lead to new research fields and breakthroughs. MIT focuses on research and teaching, and I look forward to being part of that mission,” said Negar.
Negar received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in 2011 and 2013, respectively, in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. Currently she is a PhD candidate in electrical engineering at Columbia studying under Professor Harish Krishnaswamy. Her work has earned her a number of awards, including the Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award, the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship, and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Predoctoral Achievement Award. Many congratulations to Negar on her success!
