Prof. Maria Asplund

Prof. Maria Asplund is professor in bioelectronic microtechnology at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. Her research includes implantable flexible neurotechnology, tissue-device interaction and electronic biomaterials. Her team has specialized in electrode materials for efficient and safe charge injection over the entire parametric range used clinically, from promotion of wound healing to brain implants for visual restoration. Additionally, she develops microfluidic platforms where the interplay between electrical stimulation and tissue signaling can be studied in detail. After completing her PhD at the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, 2009) she led her own research group at the University of Freiburg, Germany (2011-22) before joining Chalmers in 2022. Her work has this far resulted in new technologies which contributes to smaller, more energy efficient and durable bioelectronics for the future.
