Every year, as part of the campaign for visiting professors, Centrale Lille welcomes several teaching researchers on its premises, but who are they, and what do they come to do?

#VP1 – Dr Hadi Heidari

From 1-15 June, 2022, Centrale Lille and IEMN will welcome Hadi Heidari, professor of nanoelectronics at the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, in the UK.

Co-author of more than 220 publications in journals with top-notch reading committees or international conference proceedings, Professor Heidari runs the Microelectronics Lab (meLAB) at the University of Glasgow, which conducts pioneering research on integrated micro/nanoelectronic design medical (wearables and implantables) and industrial (quantum computing and ultrasound systems) applications.

Professor Heidari’s visit, initiated by members of the IEMN AIMAN-FILMS group, is part of a health engineering collaboration aimed at developing new miniaturised patch-based medical devices for early cancer detection and follow-up therapy.

A first EIC Pathfinder joint European research project, also involving the proteomics, inflammatory response and mass spectrometry (PRISM) laboratory at the University of Lille, and the Oscar Lambret Regional Cancer Centre, has just been submitted. A second European project, in the scope of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, is being prepared.

Professor Heidari will participate in teaching in the solid-state physics module of the École Centrale de Lille on magnetoelectronics devices and integrated microelectronics technologies for medical and industrial applications. Other teaching activities and exchanges with students are also envisaged.
