Ulkuhan Guler is an associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and director of the Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICAS) Laboratory at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), MA, USA. She is currently on a sabbatical at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MA, USA. Before joining WPI in 2018, Dr. Guler was a postdoctoral researcher at Georgia Tech, GA, USA. She received her B.Sc. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from the Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey, her M.E degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, and her Ph.D. degree from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey. She leads a research lab at WPI focused on developing innovative technologies for miniaturized biomedical devices that bridge engineering and medicine to advance continuous health monitoring and personalized medicine. Her research spans low-power circuit design for wearable and implantable medical devices, including neural interfaces, noninvasive transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide monitoring. She specializes in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, with expertise in sensing interfaces, energy harvesting, and wireless power transmission for biomedical and IoT applications, as well as security solutions for healthcare systems. She is the recipient of the 2022 NSF CAREER award and the 2020 Interstellar Initiative Young Investigator award. She is a senior member of IEEE. She serves as an associate editor for several IEEE journals, including IEEE SSC-L, IEEE TBioCAS, and IEEE TCAS: II. Dr. Guler co-authored three book chapters. She also serves a steering committee member of the IEEE CICC and TPC member of the IEEE BioCAS conferences. In addition, she is a member of several IEEE societies, including solid-state circuits (SSCS), circuits and system (CAS), and biomedical engineering (EMBS), the women in circuits committee.
