Timothy Constandinou received both his BEng and PhD degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London, in 2001 and 2005 respectively. He then joined the Institute of Biomedical Engineering as Research Officer until 2009, when he was appointed Deputy Director of the Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology. In 2010, he joined the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, where he currently holds an academic faculty position within the Circuits & Systems Group.

His research utilises integrated circuit and microsystem technologies to address challenges in implantable neural prosthetics, brain-machine interfaces, lab-on-chip platforms and medical devices in general. His main focus is to develop microelectronics that interface with neural pathways for restoring lost function in sensory, cognitive and motor impaired patients. Specific projects include an implantable brain machine interface for cortical monitoring, a wireless intraspinal microstimulation platform, and a neural prosthesis for proprioception. Other research includes an electro-optical platform for truly wireless lab-on-CMOS and interventative capsule endoscopy for targeted drug delivery.

Dr. Constandinou is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a Fellow of the IET, a Chartered Engineer and SPIE Member. He serves on several IEEE and IET technical, editorial, conference and awards committees, in particular within the IEEE CAS Society.
