Dr. Christopher Proctor

Biography

Christopher Proctor is a Professor and Bioelectronics Tutorial Fellow at Keble College, University of Oxford. He completed his B.Sc. in Interdisciplinary Physics at the University of Michigan and earned his Ph.D. in Materials from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he investigated loss mechanisms in organic photovoltaics. He received a postdoctoral fellowship from Whitaker International to develop implantable bioelectronic devices aiming to treat neurological disorders at the Bioelectronics Department of École des Mines de Saint-Étienne. In 2020, he became a BBSRC David Phillips Fellow and group leader in the Engineering Department at the University of Cambridge before moving to Oxford in 2022. His recent publications involve advanced 3D bioelectronics and novel techniques in drug delivery systems. Proctor's research focuses on developing bioelectronic systems to enhance healthcare and advance bioscience by leveraging advances in biosensors, optoelectronics, soft robotics, machine learning, and neuroengineering. He aims to create lasting impacts through scientific discovery, engineering innovation, and clinical translation, with ongoing projects in electronic drug delivery and minimally invasive implants.
