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 an associate
professor. He is a co-director for the Center for Neuroengineering and
Medicine. 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 Outstanding Research Award and Outstanding Graduate
Teaching Assistant Award from the Department of Electrical Engineering at
UVA, Fund for Medical Discovery Award from Massachusetts General Hospital, an
UC Davis - Graduate Studies Distinguished Graduate and Postdoctoral
Mentorship 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. |
