About
Soner Sonmezoglu is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University. His research group focuses on emerging implantable and wearable medical devices and systems, enabled by his research in advanced microelectronics, microfabrication, and integration, for neurological, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. Prior to joining Northeastern in 2022, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the EECS department at UC Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. in the ECE department from UC Davis in 2017 and his B.S. and M.S. degrees with a minor in solid-state physics in Electrical Engineering from Middle East Technical University in 2010 and 2012. He is a recipient of numerous awards, including the UC Davis Graduate Division Fellowship and the Graduate Fellowship provided by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey.
