Eric Glowacki, PhD

Eric Głowacki is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Brno University of Technology in the Czech Republic, and leads the Laboratory for Bioelectronic Materials and Devices at the Central European Institute of Technology, CEITEC, Brno. His background is in physical chemistry (MSc 2009 University of Rochester, USA), (PhD 2013, Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria) During postdocs in Linz (2013-2016), his research interest shifted into the field of electrophysiology, bioelectrochemistry, and neuromodulation. In 2016, he moved to set up and independent group at Linköping University in Sweden, within the Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine, working on wireless neurostimulation devices. In 2020, he was awarded the ERC Starting Grant, with which he moved his group to CEITEC. His group conducts fundamental research, as well as applied collaborations with companies. The research is dedicated to neural interface technologies and bioelectronic medicine and fundamental exploration in neuromodulation and reactive oxygen species in physiology, and specializes in the use of electrochemical methods to study neurostimulation electrode interface phenomena.
