Biography

Keyvan Farhang Razi received his BSc and MSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Amirkabir university of Technology, Tehran, Iran in 2016 and 2019 respectively. His field of activity and interest during his Bachelor of science education mainly covers analog circuits design using advanced HBT transistors and studying III-V compounds semiconductors as well as VLSI circuits design. In 2016, he joined photonics Research Lab (PRL) in Amirkabir university of Technology to carry out his bachelor diploma project under supervision of Prof. Hassan Kaatuzian.

Subsequently, he became a member of RFIC laboratory at Amirkabir university of Technology as a Master of science student under supervision of Dr. Mohsen Moezzi in 2017. He conducted a great deal of research and projects in designing Radio-frequency integrated circuits and low-power analog CMOS integrated circuits during his MSc program. Also, he designed an elaborated RF-DC converter for RF energy harvesting applications in his MSc diploma project.

He started his PhD education in Electrical Engineering department (EDEE) of EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland as a doctoral assistant in Biomedical Neuromorphic Microelectronic System group (BNMS) supervised by Dr. Alexandre Schmid in October 2019. Currently, he is working toward an interdisciplinary project which involves mixed-signal I.C design, signal processing, machine learning, and a RISC processor design for low-power implantable biomedical applications. His PhD thesis concerns designing a closed-loop epileptic seizure control implant. The ultimate goal of this project is to provide autonomy and improve the quality of life of epileptic patients who are drug-resistant and canbe treated neither by existing pharmacotherapies nor by resection surgeries.
