RESEARCH

Overview
Themis is leading a 20-people strong interdisciplinary team comprising expertise that ranges from nanomaterials characterisation to electron devices, circuits and systems and biomedical devices. The Prodromakis group is developing ultrahigh density resistive memory chips based on transition metal-oxides. These memristor chips are employed both as next generation data storage and neuromorphic computing (collaboration with THALES and VENNEOS). The team is also developing next-generation neural interfaces that enable linking biological functions to electronics and biomimetic cell-culturing platforms manipulating the position and morphology of cardiac cells in vitro (collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline - GSK). We are also developing low-cost point-of-care diagnostics by exploiting PCB manufacturing techniques. This project is in collaboration Newbury Electronics, a leading manufacturer of PCBs in the UK, and Imperial College Healthcare NHS, who currently carry out the clinical trials for TB diagnosis. Work in the Prodromakis team has led into a start-up company, ArC Instruments Ltd, that delivers high performance testing platforms for characterising 'en masse' novel technologies in a fast and automated fashion.
