Panagiotis Kassanos received his M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from University College London (UCL), UK, in 2006 and 2012, respectively. From 2010 to 2011, he held a Postdoctoral EPSRC Ph.D.+ Research Fellowship, and from 2011 to 2013, he was a Research Associate in the UCL Dept. of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. From 2014 to 2022, he was a Research Associate with The Hamlyn Centre, Institute of Global Health Innovation, Imperial College London, UK. He is currently with Akronic P.C., Athens, Greece as an Analog IC Design Engineer working on commercial and national and EU research projects. His current research interests include analog, mixed-signal, RF, and mmWave integrated circuits for biomedical, sensor, telecommunications, magnonic and signal processing applications, electrochemical sensors, instrumentation, microfluidics, sensor design and fabrication, flexible/stretchable electronics, additive fabrication techniques, and Raman spectroscopy for biosensing. Dr. Kassanos is a senior IEEE member, a member of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CASS) and Solid-State Circuits (SSCS) societies, a Topic Editor of MDPI Sensors, and a Review Editor for the Frontiers in Electronics: Wearable Electronics and Bioelectronics section and for the Frontiers in Medical Engineering: Clinical Engineering section. He is an active reviewer for several journals and conferences.
Meysam Keshavarz
Meysam Keshavarz is a Research Associate in the Department
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He previously worked at the Hamlyn
Centre for Medical Robotics at Imperial College London. Meysam is an
accomplished researcher in the fields of nano-biomaterials and
micro/nanofabrication, with expertise in studying nanomaterial interactions
with cells at a cellular level. His research has involved developing biosensors
for early-stage cancer diagnosis and studying interactions between
nanomaterials and cells. Meysam holds a Master of Science degree in Materials
Science and Engineering from the University of Technology in Malaysia, where he
received the Gold Medal for Graduate Student Award for his outstanding academic
achievements. He then went on to earn his Ph.D. in Diagnostic and Therapeutic
Applications of Nanomaterials from Ryerson University, where he received
several awards such as the Doctoral Completion Award, International Student
Scholarship, and Access to Opportunity Program Award. He was also nominated for
the prestigious Governor General's Gold Medal. His Ph.D. research was focused on
developing custom-made nanomaterials for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.
He created an inorganic nanomedicine for the targeted treatment of cervical cancer
and several diagnostic templates for the early detection of cancer biomarkers.
