Luca Berdondini

Luca Berdondini is a Senior Researcher (with tenure) at the Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Genova, Italy) where he leads the IIT-NetS3 laboratory. By converging cross-disciplinary engineering and neuroscience competences, his research team focuses on the study and application of innovative neuroelectronic solutions for large-scale interfacing brain circuits at cellular resolution. He is among the pioneers of CMOS-based multielectrode arrays for electrophysiology. He combines the use of microelectronics with micro-/nano-technologies to realize active devices with several thousands of electrodes and front-end electronics underneath. Recently, his laboratory introduced the SiNAPS technology: an innovative solution to realize implatable, cost-effective CMOS-probes.
