Ted Higman

Ted Higman serves as an Associate Professor within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. His academic appointment is based at the Minneapolis campus with office location in Keller Hall (6-125) at 200 Union Street SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455.

His primary research interests include:

• Electron device fabrication with specialization in scanning tunneling microscope (STM) lithography
• High-field transport phenomena in semiconductors
• Hot carrier injection effects on insulator reliability
• Ultra-low voltage analog/mixed-signal circuit design for biomedical applications

Analysis of his recent publications (2012-2013) reveals a concentrated research trajectory toward enabling portable medical instrumentation through innovative circuit techniques. His work demonstrates consistent focus on sub-1.2V operation constraints, with significant contributions in rail-to-rail amplifier topologies featuring constant transconductance, energy-efficient ADC architectures, and specialized comparator designs. These developments primarily target ECG monitoring systems, bridging semiconductor device physics with practical circuit implementation for healthcare technology under severe power limitations.

No scientific awards or honors are documented in the available profile information.

Professor Higman has secured external research funding as Principal Investigator for a National Science Foundation REU Site grant (2010-2013) supporting undergraduate research experiences in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
