Sanaz Asgarifar, Ph.D student | email: sanaz.asgarifar@gmail.com
Received the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic, University of Tabriz (2006-2008), GPA: 18 out of 20 and the Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic, from University of Guilan (2001-2005). Currently she is registered as a PhD student at the University of the Algarve. The objective of her research proposal is to develop a multifunctional implantable electronic transducer to record and stimulate signals from/to neuronal cells. These devices should work as a tool to decode communication signals used by cells to regulate biological functions. These transducers are also aimed to repair faulty signalling pathways acting as therapeutically biomedical devices. The thesis title is “Implantable Electronic Devices for Advanced Therapies”.
Received the B.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences from the Department of Biomedical Science and Medicine (University of the Algarve). She worked on the research of Radiopharmaceuticals that contains positron emitters at CUDIM (Centro Uruguaio de Imagiologia Molecular), under the guidance of Dr.ª Patricia Oliver. Her main interest and research fields are medical and forensic science. She currently involved in the preparation and maintenance of neural cell cultures in microelectronic circuits. She will defend her M.Sc. thesis entitled: “cellular behavior of neuronal and glia cells in electronic device”.
Pedro Inácio is currently doing his Integrated Master thesis in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering at Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of the Algarve. His thesis is entitled “Electrical Characterization of electronic interfaces to communicate with electrogenic cells in vitro”. His research work is part of the FP7 research project,” Implantable organic nanoelectronics” (I-one) and the Eurocores project, intelligent cell surfaces (ICS)

Received the B.Sc. degree in University of Science and Technology, Beijing, China, in 2004, the M.Sc. Degree from University of Southern Denmark, Denmark, in 2006, and now seeking the Ph.D. degree from University of Algarve, Portugal. Since 2003, she has been working in material science and engineering in terms of optimizing membrane of fuel cells by electrochemical methods. She has been working in a high-technology incorporate in China, which is specialized in developing and commercializing fuel cell power supplies. Her current research interest lays on the reliability of light emitting diodes and the mechanism of the pre-mature failure of LEDs. Her PhD thesis is entitled: "Polymeric Resistive RAMs: Elucidating the Switching Mechanism"
The thesis is submitted
