Rashid Bashir is a Pakistani-born American engineer and scientist. He is the Abel Bliss Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Bioengineering at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (a campus wide clean room facility). He is a world leader in BioMEMS, Bionanotechnology, Bio-Sensors and applications of semiconductor processing and nanotechnology to biology and medicine. He received PhD from Purdue University in 1992 at the age of 25.His research interests include Bionanotechnology, BioMEMS, Lab-on-a-chip, interfacing of biology and engineering from the molecular to the tissue scale, and applications of semiconductor fabrication to Biomedical engineering, all applied to biomedical problems. He has been involved in 2 start-ups that have licensed his technologies (BioVitesse, Inc. and Daktari Diagnostics). Prof. Bashir’s key technical contributions and achievements lie in the area of BioMEMS and Bionanotechnology, especially in the use of electrical or mechanical-based label-free methods for detection of biological entities on a chip. In addition, he has also made key contributions to 3-D fabrication methods that can be used for tissue engineering and development of cellular systems.
