Amar Basu

Amar Basu has worked in the field of engineering and biomedical engineering since 2003. From 2003-2008, they were an Adjunct Lecturer and Research Assistant at the University of Michigan. In 2008, they became a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Wayne State University, where they were later promoted to Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Amar's lab focused on lab-on-a-chip systems, wearable sensors, and microfluidic and microelectronic instrumentation for life sciences, health, and environment. In 2015, they were a Visiting Professor at Purdue University's Aston Laboratory of Chemistry, where they worked on a DARPA sponsored project to develop an automated chemical synthesis system. In 2016, they were a Visiting Research Scientist at Intel Corporation's New Devices Group. Finally, from 2017-present, they have been the VP of Engineering Research and Digital Assays at Bioelectronica Corporation, where they are responsible for the design and development of a scalable analytical platform involving integrated microfluidics, computer vision, and machine learning implemented in high-performance real-time computing systems.

Amar Basu began their educational journey at the University of Michigan in 1996, where they earned their BSE in Electrical Engineering in 2001. Amar then pursued their MSE in Electrical Engineering from 2001-2003, followed by an MS in Biomedical Engineering - Biotechnology from 2003-2005. Finally, they completed their Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Circuits, MEMS, and microsystems) in 2008.
