Dr. Pantelis Georgiou

Biography

Pantelis Georgiou currently holds the position of Professor at Imperial College London in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He heads the Bio-inspired Metabolic Technology Laboratory within the Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology, which is a multi-disciplinary group focused on inventing, developing, and demonstrating advanced micro-devices that address global challenges in biomedical science and healthcare. His research encompasses ultra-low power micro-electronics, bio-inspired circuits and systems, and lab-on-chip technology, with applications in creating novel medical devices. His research areas include new technologies for treating diabetes through an artificial pancreas, novel lab-on-chip technology for genomics diagnostics, and targeted solutions for infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), as well as wearable technologies for rehabilitation of chronic conditions. Georgiou earned a 1st Class Honours MEng Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2004 and a Ph.D. in 2008 from Imperial College London. He joined the Institute of Biomedical Engineering as a Research Associate until 2010 and subsequently became the Head of the Bio-inspired Metabolic Technology Laboratory in 2011, joining the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He has made significant contributions to diabetes technology with the development of a bio-inspired artificial pancreas for treating Type 1 diabetes using silicon-beta cells and has pioneered integrated chemical-sensing systems in CMOS lab-on-chip applications. Georgiou is a senior member of the IEEE and IET and serves on the technical committees of BioCAS and the Sensory Systems of the IEEE CAS Society. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he received the IET Mike Sergeant Achievement Medal in 2013 and the IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award in 2017. He is also an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in Circuits and Systems and is a co-founder and director of ProtonDx, which commercializes technologies for rapid diagnostics of infectious diseases.
