Sakhrat Khizroev

Biographical Sketch

Sakhrat Khizroev received a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), a MS in Physics from the University of Miami and a BS in Quantum Electronics and Applied Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) in 1999, 1994 and 1992, respectively. Before he joined the faculty (tenured) at the department of Electrical Engineering of the University of California – Riverside (UCR) in 2006, he spent over three years as a faculty (tenured) at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Florida International University, Miami, Florida. In Miami, he founded and directed Center for Nanoscale Magnetic Devices supported via Motorola, NSF, and AFOSR. Prior to his university career, he spent over three years as a Research Staff Member with Seagate Research and one year as a doctoral intern with IBM Almaden Research Center. He has over 26 granted and 9 pending and 110 provisional patents with IBM, Seagate, CMU, FIU, and UCR. He has authored/co-authored over 80 refereed papers and five books and book chapters and made several contributions to engineering handbooks in the field of nanomagnetic devices. He has co-founded and co-chaired several 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 next generation information storage and memory devices including magnetic, magneto-optical and protein-based systems, and nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance (NNMR) devices and nanomagnetic systems for medical and other applications.
