Bio. Dr. Esfandyar-Pour received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 2011 and 2014 respectively. After holding a Postdoctoral position for a year, he joined Stanford Medical School as an Engineering Research Associate, where he led his group of scientists and engineers working on several cutting-edge technology research projects. Then he joined the EECS faculty at UCI, where he is currently an Assistant Professor. Dr. Esfandyar-Pour’s interdisciplinary research, in close collaboration with Stanford University, focuses on translational science by applying innovative engineering concepts to address major challenges in modern life science and medicine with the three main aims of prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatments of the diseases. His research interests cover a broad swath of engineering disciplines that are at the interface of micro/nanotechnology, nanoscience and nanoelectronics, micro/nanofabrication, micro/nanoscale semiconductors device physics, NEMS and MESM, flexible and wearable technologies, microelectronics circuits and systems, implanted medical devices, artificial intelligence computing, and wireless communication bio systems. Dr. Esfandyar-Pour is the author of several peer-reviewed high-impact journal articles and proceedings papers in national and international conferences, the named inventor on several pending U.S. patent applications, and has won several awards and recognition. His research works have been highlighted by several news agencies, such as Nature News, New Scientist, Yahoo News, BBC World Service, StanfordMedNews, Popular Science, Gizmodo, Europa Press, Science Daily, AzoNano, Engineer Online, Healthcare IT News, Tech Times, Phys.org, Laboratory news, and several others.
