Professor Daniel Simon is the Head of Unit and Principal Investigator in the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) at Linköping University (LiU). He leads research in organic bioelectronics, focusing on iontronics, conductive polymers, and bioelectronic interfaces. His work bridges electronics and biology, enabling applications in neural modulation, drug delivery, and plant electrophysiology.
Simon holds a PhD in Physics from UC Santa Cruz (2007) and advanced through roles at LOE from postdoc (2007–2011) to Assistant (2013–2016), Associate (2016–2022), and full Professor (2022). He also oversees the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE).
His research spans iontronic pumps for targeted chemotherapy, electronic plant growth control, and neuroelectronic devices. Key projects include implantable ion pumps for brain tumor treatment, lipid membrane-integrated electronics, and biohybrid systems using conductive hydrogels. Collaborations involve Karolinska Institute, Umeå Plant Science Centre, and industry.
Notable achievements include the first supercapacitor in plants, microfabricated ion pumps for epilepsy relief, and enzyme-mediated polymerization techniques. His work emphasizes translational bioelectronics, with applications in personalized medicine and sustainable materials.
