Pacemaking Neurons in the study of Parkinson’s Disease
… budget, due to a high level of arborisation and pacemaking activity. Spontaneous oscillations of these neurons are an important feature of motor control. Pacemaking involves the L-type calcium channel, and could impose long-term accumulation of calcium within its organelles. Modelling of this …

Spatio-Temporal Calcium Dynamics of the Interstitial Cells of Cajal
… of Cajal (ICC) are responsible for producing pacemaking signals that stimulate rhythmic contractions in the gastro-intestinal system. The pacemaking signals are generated by membrane depolarizations, which are in turn linked to the integrated transport of calcium between the endoplasmic …

Adaptive defibrillator design
… which are widely used to resume the normal pacemaking activities of the heart in patients with myocardivim abnormalities. Electrical defibrillation is usually achieved by passing an electrical current pulse transthoracically through the heart of the patient. The source of this electrical …

Molecular and Genetic Analysis of Neuropeptide Signalling in Mammalian Circadian Timekeeping
… of neuropeptidergic communication in mammalian pacemaking. I have undertaken extensive characterisation of the molecular mechanisms through which the VIP neuropeptide influences SCN oscillators, and I have determined differential roles for the VIP and VPAC2 neurons in circadian timekeeping.

Wirelessly Powered Sensor Design with On-Chip Antenna in CMOS Technology
In recent years, we have experienced a significant growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor network (WSN) and bio-implantable devices. There are 7 billion of IoT devices in use in 2018, which starts to surpass the number of the mobile devices. To extend the next level of connectivity …
