Shadi Dayeh is working as the Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California San Diego. His lab specializes in electronic material growth and devices and the utility of material and device advances to probe biological processes from cellular scales to whole intact organs.

After joining UCSD, Shadi’s research pivoted to translational neurotechnologies supported by UCSD’s center for brain activity mapping. Shadi led the development of the UCSD multi-thousand channel grids that have revealed microscopic functional units of the human brain and spinal cord.

He received his B.S. in Physics/Electronics from the Lebanese University in 2001 and PhD in Electrical Engineering from UC San Diego in 2008. He was a Distinguished J. R. Oppenheimer Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
