Ben Davaji

Benyamin Davaji is a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. Ben works with Prof. Amit Lal at SonicMEMS Laboratory on developing solid-state acoustic wave inertial sensors, ultrasound neuromodulation microdevices, event-powered sensors, and methods to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance micro and nanosystem design and manufacturing. He is the recipient of the 2019 Cornell achievement award for excellence in mentoring and the 2016 MEMS shark pub tank prize at the Hilton Head Conference. Before joining Cornell, Ben worked with Prof. Chung Hoon Lee on microthermal analysis and thermal microfluidic systems at Nanodevices Laboratory at Marquette University and received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. During his Ph.D., he received the 2014 IEEE Larry Hause award and the 2014 College of Engineering outstanding TA award.
