Professor Kazuaki Sawada:

Professor Kazuaki Sawada's work focuses on the development of biosensors that combine integrated circuit technology and sensor technology. Currently, Professor Sawada's main project is working on a "bio image sensor", which he hopes to use to directly observe ion distribution and movement as visual images to contribute towards the development of brain science and disease diagnosis. He received his BE and ME degrees in electrical and electronic engineering in 1986 and 1988, respectively, and received a PHD degree in System and Information engineering in 1991, all from Toyohashi University of Technology, Aichi, Japan. From 1991-1998, he was a Research Associate in the Research Institute of Electronics at Shizuoka University, and in 1998 he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology, where he is now serving as a professor. Professor Sawada is a director of the venture business laboratory at Toyohashi University of Technology. He was also a guest professor at the Technical University of Munich in 2005.
