Lisa is the Lab Manager of the ETT department. She supports the scientists in all matters related to the lab as well as administrative tasks.
Akbar is a postdoc working on the development of conductive hydrogels. His current research examines how conductive hydrogels interact with biomolecules and how these interactions influence cellular behavior.
Anna is a PhD student working on the development of hydrogel-based bioelectronic devices.
Daniel is a chemist working on hydrogel-based electrode coatings for application in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). His research is part of the COATARRAY project.
Alessandro is working on 3D Printed Bioresorbable Electrode Fabrication using metallic micro-particles.
With a background in electronic engineering, Spencer is a postdoc with a focus the design and manufacture of implantable devices. He utilise the 3D bioprinting of soft materials alongside custom-built electronics hardware and software to realise tightly integrated systems for In Vivo applications.
Francis is post-doctoral researcher developing novel hydrogel systems to increase control over the incorporation and microstructure of conductive polymers within a hydrogel matrix.

Research Group Leader "Bioelectronic Materials and Systems"
Railia is a PhD student working on fully synthetic conductive polymer hydrogels for electrical stimulation and controlled biomolecular release. Her current research focuses on the application of conductive hydrogels for wound healing.
Ahmed is a mechanical Engineer by training. He did his masters in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology with a focus on 2D & 3D cell cultures on various types of hydrogels. He is currently working on creating and integrating a platform to stimulate neuronal cells by multiple modes to study and modulate the cells in order to eliminate animal models.
Carlos is an avid engineer navigating the rapids of functional material integration and interdisciplinary research. Currently working on in-vitro technologies for CNS organoids.
