Background

Dr. Syed Kamrul Islam received his B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic
Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology
and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Systems Engineering from the
University of Connecticut. He is currently a Professor in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Dr. Islam is leading the research efforts of the Analog VLSI and
Devices Research Group at the University of Tennessee. He is also the
coordinator of the UT/ORNL Joint Program in Mixed Signal VLSI and
Monolithic Sensor. As an affiliated faculty member of
The University of Tennessee Center for Environmental Biotechnology, he is leading the efforts to develop
Biophotonic Biosensors using genetically engineered whole-cell
bioreporters on integrated circuits. His current research interests
are: semiconductor devices, high temperature electronics, analog and
mixed-signal circuit design, bio-microelectronics, and nanotechnology
and molecular scale electronics.
