Dr. Boris Murmann Principle Investigator 

Boris Murmann received the Dipl.-Ing. (FH) degree in communications engineering from Fachhochschule Dieburg, Germany, in 1994, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Santa Clara University, CA, in 1999, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, CA, in 2003. Dr. Murmann joined the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in 2023. He is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Cooperating Graduate Faculty Member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. 

Prior to joining UH, he served as an assistant, associate and full professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University from 2004 to 2023. From 1994 to 1997, he was with Neutron Microelectronics, Hanau, Germany, where he developed full-custom CMOS ASICs. Since 2004, he has worked as a consultant with numerous Silicon Valley companies. His research interests are in the area of mixed-signal integrated circuit design, including sensor interfaces, A/D and D/A conversion, high-speed communication links, embedded machine learning (tinyML), electronic design automation, as well as open-source chip design. 

He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Within the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS), he has served as an elected AdCom member, Distinguished Lecturer, and inaugural Chair of the Technical Committees on SSCS Directions and the Open Source Ecosystem. His conference service includes appointments as the Data Converter Subcommittee Chair and Technical Program Chair of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), Technical Program Co-Chair of the IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Circuits and Systems (AICAS), Technical Program Co-Chair of the tinyML Research Symposium, as well as General Co-Chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS). He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.
