Clare Hall PhD student receives ISFOE Young Researcher Award
Henryk Chan (Haolin Chen), a PhD student in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge and a member of Clare Hall, has received the ISFOE Young Researcher Award at ISFOE26, the 19th International Symposium on Flexible Organic Electronics.
The symposium, held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 6 to 9 July, formed part of NANOTEXNOLOGY 2026, an international series of events bringing together researchers and professionals working across nanotechnology, organic electronics and nanomedicine.
The ISFOE Young Researcher Awards recognise graduate students whose academic achievements and current research in flexible organic electronics demonstrate a high level of excellence and distinction. Henryk’s PhD research focuses on bioelectronics, with broader interests in biosensing, wearable and implantable bioelectronics, bioelectronic medicine, organic electronic devices, and neural and physiological sensing.
He is supervised by Dr Amparo Güemes González and is a member of the Neuro-Metabolic Control Systems Laboratory, known as the NeuMeC Lab. The interdisciplinary research group investigates the relationship between neural, metabolic and physiological systems, with the aim of developing new bioelectronic approaches to sensing, understanding and modulating neuro-metabolic function.
Henryk expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from Clare Hall, the Department of Engineering and the University of Cambridge Institute for Biomedical Innovation.
Clare Hall warmly congratulates Henryk on this outstanding achievement and wishes him every success as his research continues.
