"Dr. Trudi-Heleen Joubert is registered as a professional engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), and has been active in integrated circuit design since 1987. She holds a PhD in Electronic Engineering from the University of Pretoria, and her core pursuit is CMOS and BiCMOS mixed signal circuit design, mainly (but not exclusively) in readout and signal processing for imaging arrays, biologically inspired electronic circuit applications, and specialized devices for analog IC design. The most recent endeavour in this field is paper-based printed electronics biosensors at the Material Science and Manufacturing unit of the CSIR. Prior to the CSIR, she consulted to industry through a closed corporation Solid State Technology (SST), and even earlier was employed as an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering at the University of Pretoria. The contributions of her work to the South African innovation system spans university teaching, applied research ,and leading industrial development of prototypes and products. She has published 10 journal papers, presented and co-authored 23peer-reviewed conference papers, and supervised several graduate students, while also acting as external examiner for the University of Pretoria and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. She has lectured 10 short courses to industry in her field of specialization, worked on 27 projects for the South African industry, writing 122 technical reports in the process, and contributing to 30 integrated circuits."
