B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Southern Illinois University, 1997.

Short Bio

Professor Gruev joined the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in August 2008. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. degree in 2004 and 2000 respectively from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University and B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern Illinois University in 1998. After completing his Ph.D., Professor Gruev was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Gruev research interests span several multidisciplinary areas. The core research area is in mixed-signal VLSI and its application to sensory systems. My research goal is to develop novel imaging sensors capable of extracting visual information using hybrid substrates. These hybrid sensors will combine digital and analog electronics with optics and emerging nano technology in order to extract information in real time and consume low power. Optimizing these computation units implemented on different substrates, which span from analog to digital domain; electrical to optical domain; micro to nano domain, is an active area of research. His other research interests involve: mixed signal VLSI, low-power integrated vision sensors, fabrication of micro-polarization arrays, optical flow image sensors, adaptive optics, distributedsensors, bio inspired sensors in three dimension stack fabrication technology.

PhD Positions Available

Dr. Gruev is seeking brilliant and self-motivated students interested in working towards their Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering in the general area of micro and nano technologies. Primary research activities will focus on design of novel imaging sensors using analog/digital VLSI, micro/nano fabrication of optical devices and testing of novel sensory systems for computer vision and biomedical applications. Please, email Dr. Gruev (vgruev@wustl.edu) if interested.
