Personal profile
Biography
Dr. Soumyajyoti Maji is currently a Lecturer in Medical Electronics at the University of Galway. Before joining the University of Galway, Dr. Maji gained industry experience as a Product Development Engineer at Intel Ireland, where he worked for a year from 2020 to 2021. In 2021, he transitioned back to academia as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard University, USA. During his time at Harvard, Dr. Maji worked at the intersection of electrophysiology and neuroscience. Dr. Majis earned his Ph.D. degree in low-power biomedical circuit design from the University of Dublin, Trinity College, Ireland, in 2021. Prior to this, he completed his M.Eng.Sc. degree in electronic and computer engineering at University College Dublin, Ireland, in 2016 and the B.Tech. degree in electronics and communication engineering from the West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata, India, in 2015. At present, Dr. Majis research is centered on low-power bioinstrumentation for continuous health monitoring. Additionally, he is involved in the development of flexible sensors for physiological monitoring and contributes to the creation of assistive devices for neurorehabilitation. Dr. Maji was awarded with the Best Graduate Paper award at the prestigious 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA) held in Rome, Italy.
