Icaro is a Lead Investigator at the MediCAS-Lab on a cutting-edge project to rethink and reshape wirelessly powered neural implants for epilepsy monitoring. He secured a prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowship (Government of Ireland) funded by Research Ireland. Icaro will explore intravascular concepts to achieve this goal and enable remote monitoring. Icaro completed his PhD with distinction in Biomedical Electronics in 2023, and specialized in Electromagnetic Sensing at the University of Rennes, France. He has been a Research Fellow at Galway University for the past year developing new implantable monitoring solutions for DigiStent (an Enterprise Ireland funded operation via the Disruptive Technology and Innovation Fund -DTIF).
