Biography

Dr. George Yuan received both his MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, in 2001 and 2006, respectively. Dr. Yuan received his BS in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 2000. During his PhD, Dr. Yuan did research on developing nonlinear calibration techniques for high-speed low-power pipeline A/D converter. Dr. Yuan also developed a bio-inspired silicon Cort-X for neuromorphic engineering. Since Aug. 2006, he joined the Electronic and Computer Engineering Department at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as an assistant professor.

Dr. Yuan's main research interests are on developing high-performance mixed-signal bio-sensory circuits for personal health care. His research focuses on the integrated high-performance front-end of bio-sensory systems. Related applications include cell-on-chip, capsule endoscopy, computed tomography, intra-vascular ultrasound imaging, and intra-body communication.

Dr. Yuan is a member of IEEE. Dr. Yuan is the secretary of the bio-medical circuits and systems technical committee of the IEEE circuit and system society. Dr. Yuan served as the Financial Chair for IEEE International Symposium on Electronic Design, Test & Applications (DELTA) 2008, and is the technical program co-chair of IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS)2009. Dr. Yuan are members to the technical committee of IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) since 2008. Dr. Yuan serves reviewer to major IEEE circuit and system journals such as JSSC, TCAS-1, TCAS-II, TVLSI.
