Biography
Dr Faezeh Arab Hassani (BSc, MSc, PhD, FHEA, SMIEEE) is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Electrical, Electronic, and Mechanical Engineering, University of Bristol, where she also serves as Programme Director for the MSc Advanced Microelectronic Systems Engineering programme. Dr Arab Hassani received a PhD degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Southampton in 2012. She then joined the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) for her Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) post-doctoral fellowship (2012-2013). She continued her research career at the National University of Singapore (NUS) (2013-2014), the University of Sheffield (2014-2016), and the N.1 Institute of Health (formerly the Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology), NUS (2016-2019). Dr Arab Hassani received a JSPS invitational fellowship to conduct research at the University of Tokyo (2019-2020). Her work spans thin-film and flexible sensors, actuators, energy harvesters, and advanced micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) hybrid devices. In addition to her research, Dr Arab Hassani is Chair of the IEEE UK and Ireland Nanotechnology Council Chapter and Counsellor of the University of Bristol IEEE Student Branch. She is also the Associate Editor for the Sensors International journal and a member of the Japan Society of Applied Physics.
