Dr. David Schwartz is Area Manager in PARC’s Hardware Systems Laboratory. He directs research focused on flexible and wearable electronics and printed and distributed sensor systems and associated analytics, as well as projects in mm-wave technologies and energy efficiency. He also served as the lead circuit and systems designer for PARC’s printed and flexible electronics for eight years. Recent work includes development of printed gas sensors, RF-powered flexible temperature and humidity sensors for building environment optimization, and an in-mouth BLE-enabled saliva biosensor platform. Dr. Schwartz has a technical background in mixed-signal CMOS circuit design, biosensing, and software engineering. He received his B.S. in Mathematics from Brown University, and spent several years as a software engineer and architect before acquiring his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University, where he developed an active CMOS substrate for time-resolved fluorescence detection of DNA.
