Clarkson University has announced that Masudul Imtiaz has been granted tenure and promoted to associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering.

Imtiaz teaches courses in embedded systems, digital design, machine learning on biomedical signals, intelligent system design, and advanced biometrics. He also coordinates the Electrical Computer Engineering Graduate Seminar and mentors undergraduate and graduate research students in areas such as artificial intelligence, sensing technologies, and biometric recognition.

His research focuses on AI-driven sensing systems, wearable health technologies, biometric security, and embedded computing, with applications spanning healthcare monitoring, assistive technologies, and secure human identification. At Clarkson, he leads the AI Vision, Health, Biometrics, and Applied Computing (AVHBAC) Lab, which he founded to provide students and researchers with hands-on experience in electronic systems development.

Imtiaz has secured more than $1.5 million in competitive research funding from sources including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR), federal agencies, New York State programs, and industry partners.

In addition to his research and teaching, Imtiaz leads an NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site on sensor development, where undergraduate students from across the country gain hands-on research experience. He further contributes to Clarkson through curriculum development, collaborative research initiatives, and community STEM outreach programs.

His work has resulted in dozens of peer-reviewed publications in journals and conference proceedings spanning sensors, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, and biometrics.

Imtiaz earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in applied physics and electronics from the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh, and a doctorate in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Alabama.
