Peter Levine, Principal Investigator, Silicon Bioelectronics (SiBio) Laboratory
Peter M. Levine received a Bachelor of Engineering in computer engineering and Master of Engineering in electrical engineering from McGill University, Montreal, QC in 2001 and 2004, respectively. In 2009, he obtained a PhD in electrical engineering (with distinction) from Columbia University, NY.
His doctoral work focused on the design of active complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) biochips for electrochemical DNA assays. From 2009 to 2010, he worked as a research engineer in integrated circuit and sensor design for the biotechnology start-up Ion Torrent in Guilford, CT (now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific), which commercialized the first semiconductor-based, fully-electronic genome sequencer. In 2011, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo where he is now a professor. His research interests include CMOS-integrated electrochemical sensors, CMOS visible-light and X-ray imagers, and the design of analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits for sensor interfaces.
