Ada Poon is a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. She is the principal investigator of Stanford Integrated Biomedical Systems Lab.[1][2]
Education, Career and Research
[edit]Ada Poon completed her undergraduate study in electrical and electronic engineering from the University of Hong Kong. She completed her M.S. (1999) and Ph.D. (2004) degrees from the EECS department at the University of California, Berkeley, supervised by Robert W. Brodersen.[3]
In 2005, she joined her advisor's startup company, SiBeam Inc. In 2006, she joined the faculty of University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She has been faculty at Stanford Department of Electrical Engineering since 2008.
Dr. Poon's research is in integrated biomedical systems. Her research is focused on discovering ways to extremely miniaturize electronic devices such pacemaker, neuromodulators, and artificial pancreas so that they can be seamlessly implanted into patients with minimal invasiveness to provide targeted therapy for individuals.[1][4]
As of July 2019, Ada Poon has been granted approximately 11 patents.[5]
