Biography

Peter Levine is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research group aims to develop Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors (CMOS) that translate the chemical world of biology to the digital world. By combining standard CMOS chips that contain custom analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits with novel or non-traditional structures, materials, and devices, his research group is developing biochips for a wide range of life-science and bio-diagnostic applications.
