Bio

Ruonan received his B.S. degree in microelectronics from Fudan University, China, in 2007, M.S. degree in electrical engineering from University of Florida in 2009, and Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from Cornell University in 2014. He joined MIT in July 2014, and has been on the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Assistant Professor 2014~2018, Associate Professor 2018~2025, Professor 2025~). His research group aims to explore microelectronic circuits and systems to bridge the terahertz gap between microwave and infrared domains. He has served on the committees of a few conferences, including the technical-program committee (TPC) of IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) (2022~present), IEEE Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium (2017~present), and 2019 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Steering Committee. He was the associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering (2020~present) and IEEE Transactions on Very-Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2018~2021), and the Guest Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (T-MTT) (2019). He is the 2020~2022 Distinguished Microwave Lecturer of IEEE Microwave Theory Techniques Society (MTT-S) and 2025~2026 Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS). Ruonan was the recipient of three Best Student Paper Awards from IEEE RFIC Symposia (2012, 2017 and 2021), NSF Faculty Early CAREER Development Award (2017), Intel Outstanding Researcher Award (2019) and the IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society New Frontier Award (2023). In 2023, he was appointed as the Associate Director of MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) and Director of MIT-MTL Center of Integrated Circuits and Systems (CICS).
