Nance Ericson
Telephone (423) 574-5637

He received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Christian Brothers University, Memphis, TN in 1987, and the M.S. degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 1993. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. degree at the University of Tennessee with a focus on RF integrated circuits.

In 1987, he joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN as a Research and Development Engineer in the Monolithic Systems Development Group. In this capacity, he has been involved in a variety of development projects with focus on the design of mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuits and integrated sensors. Presently, he is involved in the design of implantable instrumentation incorporating wireless integrated circuits, and high-density monolithic front-end electronics and data readout systems for the PHENIX detector. His research interests include physiological/biological sensing, wireless, silicon-based optical detectors, MOS device characterization, and high-temperature CMOS. He has authored or coauthored over 35 technical publications. He holds one patent in the area of wide-temperature logiarthmic current measurement and has three patents pending.

Mr. Ericson is a member of Tau Beta Pi. He was the recipient of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Early Achievement Award in 1997.
