Nicole McFarlane received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Howard University, Washington DC, in 2001 and 2003 respectively, and her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2010. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee since 2010, working on sensors, devices and electronics for portable and implantable applications. Her research has included fabrication and characterization of III\u2013V Nitrides, developing the theory underlying information and power efficiency trade-offs in mixed signal electronics, CMOS biosensors and lab-on-a-chip technologies, vertically aligned carbon nanofiber based sensors and electronics for sensing and actuation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
