Antonio Valentín

Dr. Antonio Valentín is an Associate Professor in Clinical Neurophysiology and Epilepsy at King's College London, affiliated with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) and the Department of Basic & Clinical Neuroscience. His research focuses on neuromodulation techniques for epilepsy treatment, including deep brain stimulation and single-pulse electrical stimulation. He leads major projects such as the SMART-DBS initiative for real-time neuromodulation and the CADET trial for pediatric epilepsy. Collaborators include Prof. Gonzalo Alarcón (Weil Cornell Medicine) and Prof. Rodrigo Quiroga (University of Leicester). He co-directs the International League Against Epilepsy's VIREPA EEG course and has published over 118 peer-reviewed articles, including high-impact work in Nature Communications and Cell Reports. His work addresses epilepsy diagnosis, surgical outcomes, and novel therapies, with a focus on translational neurotechnology.

• Education:
• PhD in Neuroscience
• MD (Medical Doctorate)

Research Interests: His work spans neuromodulation for drug-resistant epilepsy, surgical treatment innovations, and the application of AI/machine learning in EEG analysis. Recent studies include generalized epilepsy network mapping and EEG signal translation using GANs. He explores seizure source localization and closed-loop stimulation systems for chronic conditions.

Projects & Grants: Leads multi-institutional projects funded by NIHR, EPSRC, and the Royal Academy of Engineering. Current grants include wireless neuromonitoring devices and pediatric DBS protocols.

Labs/Teams: Directs the Laboratory Research Project in Neuroscience (6BBYN306) and collaborates with global networks in epilepsy research and neurotechnologies.
