Principal Investigator Prof. Erkin Şeker |
Erkin
Şeker joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC
Davis as an Assistant Professor in 2011 and is currently a Professor. He is a
Co-Director for the Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine and the Chair of
the Designated Emphasis in Neuroengineering. He has served as the Graduate
Program Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Program between
2019-2021. He received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Virginia (UVA) in 2007, where he developed techniques to
control mechanical and morphological properties of nanoporous gold. During
his postdoctoral appointment in the Department of Chemistry at UVA he
investigated material-biomolecule interactions and developed microfluidic
flow control schemes. Between 2009 and 2011, as a research associate at the
Center for Engineering in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, he developed
multiple electrode arrays for neural electrophysiology applications and
spearheaded the development of microsystems for monitoring transcriptional
and secretory dynamics at a cellular-level in the context of metabolic
dysregulation. He is the recipient of a Fund for Medical Discovery Award from
Massachusetts General Hospital, an UC Davis - Graduate Studies Distinguished
Graduate and Postdoctoral Mentorship Award, UC Davis – Academic Senate Distinguished
Graduate and Professional Teaching Award, a University of California Lab Fees
Research Grant, an NSF CAREER Award, and a NIH NIBIB Trailblazer Award. He
served as an Associate Scientific Advisor for Science Translational Medicine
and was selected to participate in National Academy of Engineering’s Annual
Frontiers of Engineering Education Symposium, as well as a BMES Cellular and
Molecular Bioengineering Young Innovator. His current research interests
include nanoporous metals, electrochemical biosensors, multifunctional neural
interfaces, and microfluidic tissue chips. |
