Dr. Valente is an Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, Canada. He received the Ph.D. degree in electronic and electrical engineering from University College London (UCL), U.K., in 2011. From 2011 to 2017 he held Research Associate positions in Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at UCL, during which, in 2015, he also joined Tetrivis LTD, UK, as an IC design engineer. In 2017, Virgilio was a Visiting Scholar at the Nano Lab, Tufts University, Medford, USA. In 2018 he joined the Department of Microelectronics at Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands as Faculty Research Fellow in Bioelectronics.
Dr. Valente’s research focuses on the design of integrated CMOS/MEMS sensor systems for implantable and injectable wireless sensor networks, with medical applications including wireless health monitoring, diagnostics and closed-loop therapy. He has authored and co-authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications and holds 1 patent.
Dr. Valente is a member of the Biomedical Circuits and Systems (BioCAS) Technical Committee of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also a member of the Technical Committee of the 2024 Workshop on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems in Hilton Head, USA. He served as a member of the Organizing Committee of the 2023 IEEE BioCAS conference in Toronto, Canada, as track chair at the 2019 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS), Bangkok, Thailand and as a member of the 2019 IEEE ICECS Technical Program Committee. Dr. Valente is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
