Biography

Sakhrat Khizroev received a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), a M.S. in Physics from the University of Miami, and a B.S. in Quantum Electronics and Applied Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in 1999, 1994, and 1992, respectively. He spent over three and a half years as a research staff member with Seagate Research and one year as a pre-doctoral intern with IBM Almaden Research Center. In January 2003, he joined the faculty of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Florida International University (FIU) as an Associate Professor. In August 2006, he joined the faculty of the department of Electrical Engineering at the University of California – Riverside. He has over 26 granted and 9 pending and 115 provisional patents with IBM, Seagate, CMU,  FIU, and UCR. He has authored/co-authored over 80 refereed papers, five book and book chapters in the field of nanomagnetic devices for next generation computing, medicine, and energy harvesting related applications.  He has co-founded and co-chaired several major annual IEEE conferences including North American Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Conference (NAPMRC) and Conference on Nanoscale Devices and System Integration (NDSI). He has served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology and a guest editor for Nanotechnology and IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. Today, the focus of his research is in the sub-area of Nanotechnology dedicated to the development of nanomagnetic devices with emphasis on the next generation computing, medicine, and energy harvesting related applications.
