Dr. Achilleas Savva

Achilleas Savva is an Assistant Professor in the Bioelectronics group at the Dept. of Microelectronics at TU Delft, in The Netherlands. His research is focused on “Regenerative Bioelectronic Technologies” - the development of electrically active and light sensitive devices for monitoring and controlling the fate of stem cells for regenerative medicine. In the past, he developed novel bioelectronic devices such as biosensors, light sensitive devices for wireless stimulation of neurons with light, 3D bioelectronics for electrical monitoring of human stem cell cultures, among others. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in chemical engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, and his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Cyprus University of Technology. He then joined the bioengineering Dept. at KAUST, Saudi Arabia as a postdoc and the Chemical Engineering  and Biotechnology Dept. at the University of Cambridge, UK as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow. Achilleas was born in Limassol, Cyprus.
