Regular biography
Drew A. Hall is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on CMOS integrated circuits for bioelectronics, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip devices, and biomedical systems. Dr. Hall's work explores the intersection of electronics, nanotechnology, and biology through the design of high-performance CMOS biochips for applications such as in-vitro diagnostics, DNA sequencing, proteomics, and neuronal stimulation. His research emphasizes point-of-care biochips for medical diagnoses in resource-limited settings. He is also involved in sensor interface circuits, precision analog circuit design, instrumentation, and analog-to-digital converter structures. Dr. Hall received his B.S. degree in computer engineering from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University. He joined the Jacobs School of Engineering in 2012 as an assistant professor.
