Biography
Mohammad H. Zarifi (P.Eng., IEEE Senior Member) received his Ph.D. from the University of Tabriz in Iran for his research in high-speed and low-power analog integrated circuit design, analog-to-digital converters for biomedical and communication applications. Following completion of his Ph.D., Dr. Zarifi undertook a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Alberta investigating microwave planar resonator structures and Microelectro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for sensing applications. He is the 2015 recipient of the CMC-NRC first place award, on industrial collaboration, for the innovative microwave sensors. In 2017, Dr. Zarifi joined the School of Engineering at The University of British Columbia, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He has authored or coauthored over 150 technical conference, letter, journal articles, and book chapters. Dr. Zarifi’s research interests include microwave sensors, antenna sensors, nanomaterials assisted microwave devices, high-frequency integrated circuits and systems, and wearable electronics.
Dr. Zarifi is a member of IEEE MTT-S TC- 26 “RFID, Wireless Sensor and IoT” and a senior member of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, and serves as a reviewer for several journals and conferences.
