Ava Hedayatipour, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñState University, Long Beach.

Hedayatipour's research interests include analog integrated circuit designs, bio-implantable and biomedical devices, low- power and low-noise designs, microelectronics, mixed-signal VLSI designs, and hardware security. During graduate studies, she developed the first integrated secure multimodal sensor that uses low power blocks to implement impedance and temperature sensor, with security fabricated with a Lorenz chaotic circuit. Her impedance sensor has been used to detect thoracic impedance (to detect heart failure) and hand gestures (to translate sign language). Her recent work in designing a printable electrode enables individuals to do electrochemical experiments in remote locations.

Hedayatipour holds a doctorate degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
