Danial is an academic at the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. His research focuses on developing new tools and paradigms for AI-assisted automation in the design and testing of electronic circuits and systems, including transistor-level optimisations, accelerated circuit simulations, and design and verification. He is a co-Investigator in the APRIL AI Hub. Previously, his research focused on optoelectronic sensors, including Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arrays for biomedical and communication systems. He received his BSc in electronics engineering from Chamran University of Ahvaz, Iran, in 2007, an MSc in Microelectronics and system engineering from the University of Bristol in 2009, and a DPhil in engineering science from the University of Oxford in 2013. During his DPhil studies, he designed and tested SPADs for CMOS imaging, fluorescent measurements, and optical communications. He developed the first analogue SPAD arrays, with a compatible readout mechanism compatible with conventional CMOS image sensors. His thesis on single-photon avalanche diodes for optical communications demonstrated that a SPAD receiver can achieve faster data rates than its deadtime. In 2013, he joined the UCL Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering to develop wearable optical brain imaging systems. He used sensitive photodetectors and compact digital systems to build high-density, multi-wavelength source-detector arrays. In 2017, he joined the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh as a Chancellor's Fellow in Electronics. He was part of the co-investigator team at QuantIC, the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Quantum Enhanced Imaging. Danial is the programme director of MSc Electronics and teaches the IC design course and lab to the MSc students and undergraduates at the University of Edinburgh.

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. Read recent papers on these topics here [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6].
