Mihri Ozkan Bio

Mihri Ozkan is currently an assistant professor in the department of electrical engineering at University of California, Riverside, with a research focus in nanotechnology and its applications in biology and engineering. She received her PhD degree in electrical and computer Engineering at UC, San Diego, and her MS degree in materials science and engineering at Stanford University. Her experience in industry includes Applied Materials, Analog Devices, and IBM Almaden Research Center.

Awards and honors include Regents Faculty Excellence Award (2001 and 2004), Visionary Science Award (2003), Technical Ingenuity Award (2003), Research Leadership Award (2003), and graduate student awards from the Materials Research Society (1999), the Society of Biomedical Engineering (2000), and Jacobs School of Engineering (2001). She was a member of the US team in the 2003 United States-Japan Nanotechnology Symposium. Ozkan’s research is recognized as “frontier research” by the Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science & Technology (edited by David Awschalom) and has been featured in public newspapers, journal cover stories, online news sites, and newsletters.

She is the treasurer, and an active board member of the International Society for BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology. Her editorial activities include the Journal of Sensors and Actuators B, the Journal of Biomedical Microdevices and the Kluwer Encyclopedia about BioMEMS and Nanotechnology. She holds more than 25 patent disclosures and approximately eight US patents. She can be contacted at: mihri@ee.ucr.edu.
