Joined New York Tech: 2017

Amir Javan-Khoshkholgh joined New York Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral researcher at the Integrated Medical Systems laboratory of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in March 2017. Prior to that appointment and as part of his Ph.D. program, he was a visiting research scholar at the Microwave Microsystem Laboratory at the University of California, Davis. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, in 2011 and 2015, respectively.

Javan-Khoshkholgh’s research is focused on low power wireless instrumentation and embedded systems for medical applications; wireless power transfer for implantable devices; and biological signal processing. Since arriving in New York, he has authored more than 15 journal and conference papers in biomedical instrumentation and wearable and implantable medical devices and systems. Furthermore, he has been a peer reviewer for several journal publications and IEEE conferences.

As a research assistant professor, Javan-Khoshkholgh continues his research into innovative solutions for human health at the intersection of biomedical engineering and electrical engineering.
