Raphael Panskus @CyBioEl 2026

Our team member and PhD candidate Raphael Panskus will be traveling to Paphos, Cyprus this October (19-21) to attend CyBioEl 2026 and present his work on the topic of “Ultrasound-transparent neural interfaces for multimodal interaction”.

If you are attending reach out to Raphael! He would love to interact and talk about his work!

Maria Camarena Perez speaking @Graphene Week 2026

SoMa member and PhD candidate Maria Camarena Perez will be speaking this year at the Graphene Week 2026 in Porto, Portugal.

Her talk “Nanotexturised transfer-free, multilayer graphene as neural electrodes” is scheduled for the 23rd of September during the Bioelectronics & Neural Interfaces session. If you are there, Maria will be looking forward to interact and exchange ideas!

Stefania Tsilivaki presenting @MNE 2026

SoMa member and PhD candidate Stefania Tsilivaki will be presenting her work this year at the 52nd Micro and Nano Engineering Conference 2026, which will be taking place at Interlaken, Switzerland between the 21st -24th September.

Visit her poster “An in vitro neuroelectronic platform integrating bilayer X-Cut LiNbO3 PMUTs for in situ monitoring of focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS)“, she will be looking forward to the discussions!

Dr. Andra Velea @BEM Summit 2026

The SoMa team will be returning this year to the Bioelectronic Medicine Summit, which is held between Sept. 28-29, in New York, USA.

This time, Dr. Andrada I. Velea will be traveling to represent our lab and present our group work on the topic of “Thermoplastic Polyurethane as a Novel, Versatile Material for Multimodal Neural Interfaces”.

If you are attending reach out to Andra, she is looking forward to interact and discuss the prospects of this work!

We are very excited to be talking about this technology that we have in the making for a while and that has become a core for the neural interfaces built within our team. We also have a preprint that describes the foundations of this technology which will be up soon! Stay tuned!
