  • Biography

    Rashid Bashir is a professor at the Grainger College of Engineering. From Oct. 1992 to Oct. 1998, Rashid Bashir worked at National Semiconductor in the Analog/Mixed Signal Process Technology Development Group, where he was promoted to Sr. Engineering Manager. At National Semiconductor, he led the development and commercialization of 4 analog semiconductor process technologies. He joined Purdue University in Oct. 1998 as an assistant professor and was later promoted to professor of electrical and computer engineering and a courtesy professor of biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering. Since Oct. 2007, he joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and was the Abel Bliss professor of Engineering, and professor of electrical and computer engineering & bioengineering. He was the director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (mntl.illinois.edu), a campus-wide clean room facility from Oct 2007 to Aug 2013 and the co-director of the Campus-Wide Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (www.cnst.illinois.edu), a “collaboratory” aimed at facilitating center grants and large initiatives around campus in the area of nanotechnology. Since Aug 2013, he is now the head of the bioengineering department.
