Biography:
Rashid Bashir completed his BSEE from Texas Tech University as the highest ranking graduate in the College
of Engineering in Dec 1987. He completed his MSEE from Purdue University in 1989 and Ph.D. from Purdue University
in 1992. From Oct 1992 to Oct 1998, he worked at National Semiconductor in the Analog/Mixed Signal Process
Technology Development Group where he was promoted to Sr. Engineering Manager in the Process Technology Group.
He joined Purdue University in Oct 1998 as Assistant Professor and was Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering and a Courtesy Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Since Oct 2007, he is
the Abel Bliss Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering & Bioengineering and Director of the Micro and
Nano Technology Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He has authored or co-authored over
140 journal and conference papers, over 50 invited talks, and has been granted 30 patents. His research interests
include BioMEMS, Lab on a chip, nano-biotechnology, interfacing biology and engineering from molecular to tissue
scale, and applications of semiconductor fabrication to biomedical engineering, all applied to solve biomedical
problems.
