Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Casson is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Head of the Sensors and Electronics Group at the University of Manchester, with nine years of focused experience in non-invasive bioelectronics and wearable sensing. He designs ultra-low-power, skin-conformal sensors and bespoke printed manufacturing workflows that enable real-time monitoring and closed-loop digital therapeutics in motion- and artefact-rich naturalistic settings. His multidisciplinary work spans custom microchip design, embedded signal processing, and machine learning optimized for power- and time-constrained environments, with strong application domains in EEG, cardiac monitoring, sleep, chronic pain, and rehabilitation. Alex holds cross-disciplinary appointments with NHS and medical schools, leads the bioelectronics platform at a national institute, and has been recognised as a Future Leader in Innovation, Enterprise and Research. He combines hands-on hardware manufacturing (3D, screen and inkjet printing) with clinical translation experience, often personalising stimulation and sensing pipelines for individual patients. An early career track record at Imperial and ARM underpins a pragmatic approach that bridges fundamental research and deployable healthcare technology.
