Tahmid Latif is a postdoctoral research scholar at NC State University, Raleigh, NC. He works with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the National Science Foundation Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST). As a postdoc for preclinical testing and deployment, he is working on technology maturation efforts of wearable physiological and environmental sensors at ASSIST Center. His research interests lie at the intersection of electronics and biology, with a focus towards bioelectronics, medical instrumentation, wearable sensors and their preclinical trials, and insect-machine interface.

He received his doctorate and master's degrees, both in electrical engineering, from NC State University in 2017 and 2012 respectively, and his bachelor of science degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh in 2007.

As a graduate research assistant with the Integrated Bionic MicroSystems Laboratory (iBionicS Lab) at NC State, he worked on search and rescue insect biobots (biological robots) as part of a National Science Foundation-funded research on cyber-physical systems: Cyborg Insect Networks for Exploration and Mapping (CINEMa). His doctoral dissertation, under the direction of Prof. Alper Bozkurt, was on the precise locomotory control of live insect biobots through selective neurostimulation of the insect antennae using implanted electrodes and electronic system-on-chip-based backpack, characterization of the biotic-abiotic interface at the implantation site, and biobotic performance evaluation. Prior to NC State, he worked as a lecturer of electrical engineering at Islamic University of Technology in Bangladesh.
