Biography

I worked on my PhD at the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute (NMI) and at the University of Tübingen in Germany, where I proposed to utilise ferroelectric materials for neuroelectronic interfacing.

Since April 2021, I am continuing my research in Cambridge. Specifically, this includes research on

  • Ferroelectric memristors for non-volatile memory and brain-inspired computing applications. 

  • Electrolyte-ferroelectric-semiconductor (EFS) devices to explore their potential as ferroelectric microelectrode in bioelectronic applications such as CMOS-based Neurochips and retinal implants.
