Early life and education

edit

Mintchev was born in Sofia, Bulgaria and received his M.Sc. in Electronics from the Technical University of Sofia in 1987 with a specialization in Medical and Nuclear Electronics. In 1990, he was supported by the British Council on an invitation by Professor David L. Wingate[4] to work as visiting scholar in his Gastrointestinal Science Research Unit of the Royal London Hospital (now Wingate Neurogastroenterology Institute at Queen Mary University of London). Later in 1990 he applied for and received graduate scholarship from the University of Alberta in Canada, and in January 1991 started his Ph.D. studies in electrical engineering there under the joint supervision of Professors Y. J. Kingma (Department of Electrical Engineering) and K. L. Bowes (Department of Surgery). In 1994, Mintchev obtained his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Alberta.[5] In the same year, he trained as a post-doctoral fellow in experimental surgery at the Surgical Medical Research Institute in Edmonton, Canada under the supervision of Kenneth L. Bowes. In 1997, Mintchev received his Professional Engineer registration from the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta.[6]

Career

edit

In 1995, Mintchev became assistant professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, with a joint appointment in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Surgery. In 1997 he won the Whitaker Foundation Chair position in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Calgary, where he is currently Professor Emeritus.[7] In 2020 he became professor and chair of Engineering at Howard Payne University in Texas,[8] where he re-organized the existing Engineering science program,[9] and established two new Bachelor of Science programs in Software Engineering[10] and Biomedical Engineering,[11] all offered by the Division of Engineering[12] which he founded.

In 2007, Mintchev was elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, Washington, DC.[13] He is a Senior Member of IEEE,[14] member of the American Gastroenterological Association, Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE (2010–2011),[15] and a registered Professional engineer (APEGA and NSPE).[6][16] He has been external reviewer of several widely used university textbooks on microelectronic circuits[17] and biomedical signal processing,[18] as well as for several professional societies, including IEEE,[19] AGA,[20] SPE, and BMES.[21]

Research and development

edit

Mintchev is the author of hundreds of articles in leading international scientific journals and conferences,[22][23] and of dozens of patented inventions[23][24] in the fields of biomedicine, electronics, intelligent microsystems, inertial navigation, computer and software engineering, and Internet of Things. His scientific publications are widely cited by the international scientific community (Hirsch index > 35, i-10 index > 90 and over 3000 external citations).[25] He is the creator of the concepts of Enhanced Electrogastrography,[26] Controlled Pseudobezoar technology for the treatment of obesity,[27] Leakless Pipes,[28] Microanimal Farming,[29] Wearable Antiviral Garments,[30] and other technological innovations.[31][32] He has been president, director, Chief executive officer and Chief scientific officer of public and private companies.[33][34][35][36] He and his students have been featured by many TV and news stations, including CTV,[32] CBC,[37] Yahoo News,[38] Associated Press,[39] KTAB-TV,[40][41][42] and more.[43][44] Articles about his scientific developments have been published in many newspapers and magazines, including Los Angeles Times,[45] TechCrunch,[46] Huffington Post,[47] Smithsonian Magazine,[48] Hazardous Materials Management Magazine,[49][50] IEEE Spectrum,[51] etc.
