Short Biography
Ciprian Iliescu received his BS degree and PhD degree from School of Mechanical Engineering, Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1989 and 1999 respectively. While pursuing his PhD degree he worked at Baneasa S.A. where he was involved in the design and fabrication of pressure sensors. Between 2001 and 2003 he worked as postdoctoral fellow at NTU, and was involved in projects related to microphone, wafer level packaging of MEMS devices and RF microrelay. Between 2003 and 2017 he was with IBN, Singapore as research scientist and senior research scientist. He was also visiting PI @ IMT Bucharest where he set up the "Micro and Nanofluidic lab". Between 2017 and 2019 he is senior scientist with Bigheart @ NUS, Singapore. From 2019 he is with IMT Bucharest. His current research projects relate to microfluidics for cell culture, self-assembled nanoparticles, point-of care devices, dielectrophoresis, electrical characterization of cells by impedance spectroscopy, and transdermal drug delivery. Dr. Iliescu is co-author of 6 book chapters. Dr. Iliescu is a member of Academy of Romanian Scientists.
