Professor Srinjoy Mitra

Srinjoy Mitra received his B.S. degree in physics and electronics from Calcutta, India and his M.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India. After spending a short time in the electronics industry (in India and Japan), he received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Neuroinformatics, ETH Zurich in 2004. Between 2008 and 2010 he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA.

He then joined the medical electronics team at IMEC, Belgium and worked there as a senior scientist until early 2016. At IMEC, he took up leadership roles in various industrial and publicly funded projects primarily related to ambulatory medical devices (EEG, ECG etc.). He led multiple projects on neural implants for central and peripheral nervous systems.  Prof Mitra returned to academia as a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. In 2017 he moved to the Integrated Micro and Nano Systems, University of Edinburgh.

Prof Mitra has two parallel research tracks.

His technological research interests are in low-power sensor interfaces, medical/neural electronics, neuromorphic systems. Dr Mitra is the Program Director for the MSc in Sensors and Imaging System. He is also a founding member of Edinburgh Neuroprosthetics Lab.

He is also deeply interested in technological innovation, its global implications, and its pedagogy. This includes a critical analysis of the relentless growth of digital technologies and their impact on the planet and people, both historically and in the future.  He was the convenor of the Decolonisation Working Group in the College of Science and Engineering.
