Professor A. Mason: Biography

Andrew Mason received the BS in Physics with highest distinction from Western Kentucky University in 1991, the BSEE with honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1992, and the MS and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1994 and 2000, respectively.  From 1997 to 1999 he was an Electronic Systems Engineer at a small aerospace company, and from 1999 to 2001 he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky.  In 2001 he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University in East Lansing, where he is currently an Associate Professor.    Dr. Mason is a Senior Member of the IEEE serving on the Sensory Systems and Biomedical Circuits and Systems Technical Committees of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and the on the Technical Program Committee for IEEE International Conference on Sensors.  He has served on the editorial board for Sensor Letters, and in 2006 he received the Michigan State University Teacher-Scholar Award.

Dr. Mason teaches courses in computer engineering and microelectronics, particularly VLSI, mixed-signal integrated circuit design, and biomedical instrumentation.  His research addresses many areas of mixed-signal circuit design and the fabrication of integrated microsystems.  Current projects include adaptive sensor interface circuits, bioelectrochemical interrogation circuits, post-CMOS fabrication of electrochemical sensors, ultra-low-power microcontrollers for sensory systems, and integrated circuits for neural signal processing.
