About

Amir Panahi Was born in Baneh City, Iran in 1994. He received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (Electronics) from Urmia University, Urmia, Iran, in 2017 and an M.S. degree in Integrated Circuit (IC) Design from Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran, in 2020. His research interests are related to sensor technology, piezoelectric material biosensors, bioengineering systems, and piezoelectric beam vibration to convert energy harvesting and interface circuits of these structures to electrical modeling. Amir has been working on biomedical sensors and systems, since 2017. He started his Ph.D. at the University of Alberta in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering focusing on IC, and Radio Frequency Energy Harvester (RFEH) Citrcuits since September 2023.
