Valencia Joyner Koomson

Visiting Scholar 2021 Associate professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Tufts University Associate professor, Tisch College of Civic Life, Tufts University
The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Background

Valencia Joyner Koomson is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University. She completed her SB and MEng degrees in electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and received the MPhil and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Cambridge.

Interests

Koomson’s research lies at the intersection of biology, medicine, and electrical engineering. Her interests are in nanoelectronic circuits and systems for wearable/implantable medical devices and advanced nano-/microfluidic systems to probe intercellular communication. She has co-authored several book chapters, publications, and holds a patent for a system and method for measuring phase delay and amplitude of an optical signal in animal tissue. Prior to joining Tufts, she held an appointment as a VLSI research engineer at the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute (USC/ISI), where she performed research on the design of radiation-hardened analog/mixed signal VLSI systems in CMOS for military and space applications.
