Ava Hedayatipour, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Cal State, Long Beach.

Her research interests include analog integrated circuit design, bio-implantable and biomedical devices, low-power and low-noise design, microelectronics, mixed-signal VLSI design, and hardware security. During her graduate studies, she developed the first integrated secure multimodal sensor using low-power blocks to implement impedance and temperature sensors, with security implemented through a Lorenz chaotic circuit. Her impedance sensor has been used to detect thoracic impedance (to identify heart failure) and hand gestures (to translate sign language). Her recent work designing a printable electrode enables individuals to conduct electrochemical experiments in remote locations.

She holds a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
