Ebrahim Ghafar-Zadeh received a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the KNT University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, an M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tehran, Tehran, and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Polytechnique of Montreal, Montreal, Canada, in 2008. His graduate studies focused on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-based sensors for lab-on-chip applications. In recognition of his research achievements, he received several fellowship awards, including a Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF) from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Then, he continued his PDF research studies in electrical engineering at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and bioengineering at the University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley. In 2013, he joined as an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Lassonde School of Engineering, York University, where he is currently an Associate Professor, a member of Graduate Programs of Departments of EECS and Biology, and the Director of the Biologically Inspired Sensors and Actuators (BioSA) Research Laboratory. His research is aimed at exploring novel integrated sensors and actuators for life science applications. He is a Licensed Professional Engineer in Ontario.
