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. 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. |
