Claudia Cea

Claudia Cea is set to join Yale University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. She earned her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pisa and later completed her M.Sc. in Bioengineering in San Diego, where she concentrated on creating innovative origami-based neural probes for epidural and intradural recording, as well as neurotransmitter detection. Claudia then pursued her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, focusing on the development of fast, sensitive soft bioelectronics designed to interface with neural tissue signals. A highlight of her work includes the invention of the first fully flexible, standalone neuroelectronic devices utilizing organic electrochemical transistors. These devices, made entirely from soft, biocompatible materials, integrate a power supply and data transmission system, enabling high-resolution recordings. Currently, she serves as a postdoctoral associate in the Bioelectronics group led by Professor Polina Anikeeva at MIT, where she is advancing novel soft bioelectronic devices to investigate electrophysiology within the gut-brain axis.
