Semihcan Seven
I am a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, working on integrated circuits in the Anwar Lab. My research focuses on analog and mixed-signal design for implantable, chip-scale systems that sense and act inside the body.
I received my B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from METU. My work has spanned superconducting quantum devices at EPFL, infrared photodetectors fabricated in the cleanroom, and microwave hardware for satellite systems - different corners of the same pursuit: turning physics into circuits that work.
Currently - designing analog and mixed-signal blocks in the Anwar Lab.
