Ege Iseri

Ege Iseri is a postdoctoral scientist specializing in medical devices, computational neuroscience, bioelectromagnetics, and neurostimulation. He is passionate about deciphering the complex connectivity patterns of neuronal networks in the body, accurately sensing their outputs, and controlling their behavior through electrical modeling. His Ph.D. dissertation focused on multi-scale models of the visual pathway and optimizing implantable devices for neuromodulation of the central nervous system. His models were successfully applied in preclinical studies, significantly improving the outcome of strategies for the neuroregeneration of a crushed optic nerve model and the neuroprotection of the degenerating retina in transgenics rats over controls.

Ege’s past work spans medical device engineering in various fields, including algorithm design for respiration rate detection sensors, electrochemical characterization of electrode-tissue interfaces, and optical waveguide design for optogenetics.

Ege earned his B.S. from University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 2015, his M.S. from University of California San Diego in 2017 and his Ph.D. from University of Southern California in 2024.
