IMG welcomes Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian as a new faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Tabrizian received the BS in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2007, and the PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013. He was then a Post-doctoral research fellow in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at University of Michigan. Roozbeh’s research has resulted in more than 25 journal and conference papers, and 6 patents. His research activities are focused on theoretical and experimental investigation of mixed-domain physical devices such as sensors, actuators, resonators and energy harvesters, and development of micro and nanofabrication techniques for large-scale integration of microsystems.

Camilo Velez Cuervo was awarded "Best Poster" for "Analysis of Microscale Permanent Magnets for Capturing Magnetic Particles in Biological Fluids" at the 2015 Frontiers in Biomagnetic Particles Conference in Telluride, CO.  Congratulations to Camilo, Alexandra, and other co-authors!
