Wireless Power Technologies for Biomedical Devices

Dr Rupam Das is a Lecturer at the Electronic Engineering, University of Exeter, Streatham, UK. He is part of the Nano Engineering Science and Technology (NEST) and the Centre for Metamaterial Research and Innovation (CMRI). Prior joining this position, he was a Marie Curie Fellow (EU H2020 MSCA-IF: Wireless, Scalable and Implantable Optogenetics for Neurological Disorders Cure (WiseCure) at the Microelectronics Lab (meLAB), University of Glasgow. This Fellowship focused on developing the wireless optogenetic systems based on metamaterials to treat brain diseases. He also worked as a Research Associate in multi-million EU H2020 FET-Proactive "HERMES" project in Glasgow, where he was developing the flexible neural implant to treat epilepsy. Before moving to the UK, he was a BK'21 Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Ulsan and Hanyang University at the Applied Bioelectronics Lab (ABLab). Rupam is an IEEE senior member and served as a guest editor in Royal Society of Philosophical Transaction A. He was also the local organizer of ICECS 2020 and session chair committee member for ICECS 2022. He is currently appointed as a committee member for Royal Society international Exchange and associate editor of IEEE Transactions of Biomedical Circuits and Systems.

Dr Hadi Heidari (PhD, SMIEEE, FHEA) is a Professor (Senior Lecturer) in the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. His Microelectronics Lab (meLAB) conducts pioneering research on integrated microelectronics design and magnetoelectronics device technologies. In 2021, he founded Neuranics that is building next-generation magnetic sensors for neural interfaces. He holds a Royal Society of Edinburgh Saltire Fellowship. Dr Heidari has authored/co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications in top-tier journals or conference proceedings and acts as a reviewer for several journals and conferences. He has been the recipient of several awards, including the 2020 IET Healthcare Technologies Early Career JA Lodge Award, 2019 IEEE Sensors Council Young Professional Award. Dr Heidari is a Senior Member of IEEE and Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA). He is a member of the IEEE Sensors Council Member-at-Large (2020-21 & 2022-23) and was IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Board of Governors (2018-20). He is Associate Editor-in-Cheif of IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) and serves on the editorial board of several journals, including IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, Microelectronics Journal, IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology, IEEE Access, IEEE Sensors Journal, and Frontiers in Neuroscience. He was the General Chair of 27th IEEE ICECS 2020 in Glasgow, Technical Program Chair of IEEE PRIME'19, and serves on the organizing committee of several conferences, including the UK Circuits and Systems Workshop (UKCAS), UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET) Conference, IEEE SENSORS'16 and '17, NGCAS'17, BioCAS'18, PRIME'15, ISCAS'23, and the organizer of several special sessions on the IEEE Conferences.
