SENSEICS - Key Persons
Dr. Shane Smith (Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering, The Ohio State University) is the President and co-founder of SenseICs. Before founding SenseICs, Shane worked for more than 15 years in the Electroscience Lab and Department of Physics at The Ohio State University, where he designed, produced, and maintained electronic systems used in integrated circuit research, high energy physics experiments (CERN, Stanford linear accelerator, etc.), and other applications. Shane's broad expertise covers a range of electrical engineering activities, and his academic publications, which include more than 80 peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, have been cited nearly 20,000 times.
Areas of expertise:
Hardening ICs by design for high radiation environments, > 100 Mrad TID
Dr. Ramy Tantawy is the CEO and co-founder of SenseICs. He received his BS and ME degrees with distinction in Electrical Engineering from Northern Arizona University in 2001 and 2003, respectively. He received his MSEE and PhD degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University 2019 and 2023, respectively. Prior to founding SenseICs, Dr. Tantawy spent more than 15 years in mixed-signal integrated circuit design at Intel Corporation, Micron Technology - Imaging Group (now ONSemi), and Forza Silicon (now Forza-AMETEK). He participated in various technical, business development, and leadership roles to design and develop high-performance image sensors and advanced integrated circuit solutions for ultimate use in mobile, cinematography, medical, automotive, and defense applications. He authored and co-authored 8 issued patents, various pending patents, and more than 20 journal and conference articles. Dr. Tantawy is also the Chair and Co-founder of the Columbus IEEE SSCS & CASS Joint Chapter.
