Biography:

Alfred Haas received his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Duke University in 1993, his J.D. from The George Washington University in 1997, and, after several years practicing as a patent attorney, entered the Ph.D. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the Fall of 2004. As an instructor for the University of Maryland, he has taught freshman and sophomore courses, including Introduction to Engineering Design and Digital Logic Design. In the lab, his research interests coincide with his most recent efforts which are directed at developing novel interfaces between biological cells and analog VLSI circuitry; in particular, he is focused on the design of low-power mixed-signal circuits for sensing, characterizing, and decoding biological signals.
