Michael Sekyere has accumulated significant experience in both industry and academia. As a Design Engineer Intern at Texas Instruments in Tucson, AZ, he worked on schematic reviews and design verification of precision operational amplifier circuits during two separate internships, from May to August 2023 and again from May to August 2024. At Iowa State University, he serves as a Graduate Research Assistant, focusing on the development of digital, low-cost built-in self-test (BIST) circuitry for operational amplifiers, methods for defect diagnosis, highly linear ultra-small area low-power DACs, and layout patterns to minimize gradient effects. In his role as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, he supports and guides students in Electronic Circuits and Systems labs and is responsible for grading. Prior to his academic roles, Michael worked as an Electrical and Instrumentation Technician at Ghana National Gas Company, where he uploaded PLC logics onto a virtual machine and significantly reduced plant equipment maintenance downtime by 50% over 10 months.
