Electronics and Electrical Engineering

Dr Shiwei Wang received his Bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering (Outstanding Honor) from Zhejiang University, China in 2010 and PhD degree in Microelectronics from University of Edinburgh, UK in 2014. Following his PhD research, he was with SIAT, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China as a Research Assistant Professor working on integrated circuits for neural implants. He was with IMEC, Belgium from 2015 to 2020 where his research has led to innovative breakthroughs in high density neural probe and integrated brain machine interface technologies. He was an Associate Professor at University of Southampton from 2020 to 2022, and is now a Reader at the Centre for Electronics Frontiers, University of Edinburgh.

In March 2026, Shiwei took up the role of Director of Centre for Electronics Frontiers. https://eng.ed.ac.uk/cef
