People
The Bioelectronics Laboratory is headed by Prof. Timir Datta-Chaudhuri. The lab is the only purely engineering lab at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research. The lab is staffed by career engineers from different disciplines along with research interns and rotating students from our graduate school, the Hosftra school of medicine, and collaborating institutions.
Timir Datta-Chaudhuri, PhD
Assistant Professor - Principle Investigator
Institute for Bioelectronic MedicineFeinstein Institute for Medical ResearchElmezzi Graduate SchoolZucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/NorthwellTimir Datta's interests are in the areas of neural interfaces, closed-loop neuromodulation, implantable devices. His group focuses on electronics design utilizing both off the shelf devices and custom integrated circuits. They also develop polymer-based encapsulation for implantable devices, novel neural interfaces, and miniaturized wireless power systems.
