Summary

 

Overview

Royal Society, EPSRC,  BBSRC, FSRF, Human Frontier Science Program, Wellcome

In the Dept. of Bioengineering Dr. Drakakis has founded the Bioinspired VLSI Circuits and Systems Group, whose research activities revolve around two axes:

a) "Circuits FOR Biology"

(inspiration drawn by the need for innovative instrumentation as dictated by a specific biological problem or application), and

b) "Circuits FROM Biology"

(inspiration drawn by operational, architectural and/or anatomical characteristics encountered in natural information processing systems).
