The seminar will b e held from 10:30am to 11:30am (PST) via a Virtual format. Please register for the meeting link and information.\n\nTopic:\n\nThe Circuit Frontier: Innovating and Expanding ASIC Solutions for Enhanced Biosensing and Seamle ss Wireless Communication\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis talk will introduce Cyber-S ecure Biological Systems\, leveraging living sensors constructed from engi neered biological entities seamlessly integrated with solid-state circuits . This unique synergy harnesses the advantages of biology while incorporat ing the reliability and communication infrastructure of electronics\, offe ring a unique solution to societal challenges in healthcare and environmen tal monitoring. In this talk\, examples of Cyber-Secure Biological Systems \, such as miniaturized ingestible bioelectronic capsules for gastrointest inal tract monitoring and hybrid microfluidic-bioelectronic systems for en vironmental monitoring\, will be presented.\n\nAdditionally\, I will intro duce a universal noise-centric data decoding approach using GRAND that fac ilitates ultra-low-energy wireless communications\, a critical requirement for the success of these biological systems and numerous other applicatio ns. In this talk\, I will delve into the intricacies of interdisciplinary approach for system design\, spotlighting the potential of energy-efficien t integrated circuits in the domains of biosensing and wireless communicat ions. These collaborative research projects involve MIT BE/MechE\, BU ECE/ BME\, and MIT RLE-Northeastern University.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nRabia Tugce Yazicigil is an Associate Professor of ECE Department at Boston Univ ersity and a Network Faculty at Sabanci University. She was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT and received her Ph.D. degree from Columbia University i n 2016. Her research interests lie at the interface of integrated circuits \, bio-sensing\, signal processing\, security\, and wireless communication s to innovate system-level solutions for future energy constrained applica tions.
