Mohamad Sawan

[8] He is founder and director of the Cutting-Edge Net of Biomedical Research and Innovation (CenBRAIN) in Westlake University[9] and of the Polystim Neurotechnologies Laboratory in Polytechnique Montréal[10] Sawan received his bachelor's degree from the Université Laval Canada in 1983.

Sawan has his research spanned over several domains, but his main focus has been on system-on-chip (SoC) design and testing which includes analog, digital and RF circuits.

[16] He also discovered a way to address the design and analysis of a demodulator integrated in a CMOS chip, building on their previous research approach of a device that is implanted under the skin as a glucose sensor.

[18] For neural recordings from multiple channels, he developed a multichip structure including medical-grade stainless-steel and silicon-based microelectrode arrays.

He showed that using a coplanar geometry approach is fitting for displacement tolerance as a continuation of previous work on novel topology for a multiple carrier inductive link.

[24] In a paper, he presented a wireless power and downlink data transfer system for medical implants that is based on a Carrier Width Modulation scheme, operating over a single 10 MHz inductive link.

[27] Sawan patented an invention that associates a method of adaptive predistortion and a device for power amplifiers for spectrally efficient microwave mobile communication equipments.
