Antoni Ivorra

Antoni Ivorra is a Professor at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) of Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), and a Serra Húnter Fellow and ICREA Acadèmia Fellow. He joined UPF in 2010 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley (2005-2009), a short-term position at CNRS-Institut Gustave Roussy (2009), and prior work at the Biomedical Applications Group of the Centre Nacional de Microelectrònica (1998-2005). He earned a PhD in Electronics Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2005.

His research focuses on bioelectrical phenomena for biomedical applications, including electroporation, electrical bioimpedance, and injectable electronics for neuroprosthetics. His work spans device development, computational modeling, and clinical translation, with emphasis on tissue ablation and wireless implantable systems.

His recent publications highlight advancements in pulsed field ablation, volume conduction for powering implants, and multiscale modeling of electroporation effects. These contributions reflect interdisciplinary expertise in biomedical engineering, electrophysiology, and medical device innovation.
