Suat U. Ay, Ph.D.

Dr. Suat U. Ay is Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Idaho. He received his MS and PhD Degrees in Electrical Engineering-Electrophysics from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA, in 1997 and 2005. From September 1997 to July 2005, he was working in the industry as VLSI Design Engineer specializing in the area of mixed-signal analog design of CMOS image sensors. He was with Photobit Corporation which later became the Micron Technology Inc.’s Imaging Division in 2001. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of University of Idaho on August 2007

His research focuses on the application of analog and mixed-signal circuit design techniques on micro-nano technologies to a new class of baseband/RF circuits and systems, intelligent sensor systems with an emphasis on the reconfigurable, secure, flexible electro-optical circuit and devices, and smart CMOS image sensors. He leads VLSI Sensors Research Group (VSRG).

He is a member of IEEE Solid State Circuits, IEEE Circuit and Systems, IEEE Electron Devices, and SPIE societies.
