Biography

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

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

He started his PhD education in the Electrical Engineering department (EDEE) of EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland as a doctoral assistant in the Biomedical Neuromorphic Microelectronic System group (BNMS) supervised by Dr. Alexandre Schmid in October 2019. He is currently working toward an interdisciplinary project involving 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 can be treated neither by existing pharmacotherapies nor by resection surgeries.
