ABOUT PANICOS KYRIACOU
Panicos Kyriacou received a B.E.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, and a M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in medical electronics and physics from St. Bartholomew’s Medical College, University of London, London, U.K. He is currently a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and the Associate Dean for Research with the School of Mathematics Computer Science and Engineering, City, University of London. He is the Founder and Director of the Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering at City, University of London. Prof Kyriacou’s main research activities are primarily focused upon the understanding, development and applications of medical instrumentation, biosensors and clinical measurements to facilitate the prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of disease with a focus in the design of non-invasive optical sensors for the early screening of disease. Professor Kyriacou is consider a world leader in the field of Photoplethysmography (PPG) where he remains focussed in the better understanding of the relation of Photoplethysmography with haemodynamics, vascular mechanics and hemorheology. His main motivation is the utilisation of PPG for the innovation of new disruptive technologies for the early diagnosis of disease and the facilitation of unobtrusive health and fitness monitoring.Prof Kyriacou has authored and co-authored over 250 publications and holds six patents with inventions in medical optical sensors. Prof Kyriacou has over 25 years of experience in leading major research projects funded by the main UK research bodies, EU and industry. Prof. Kyriacou served as Vice President Academia, Chair of the Physiological Measurement Group, and Chair of the Engineering Advisory Group at the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), UK. From 2017-19, Prof. Kyriacou also served as President of the European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering & Science. Prof Kyriacou is an Adjunct Professor at Yale Medical School, Honorary Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, India, and an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, U.K. He is a fellow of IoP, IPEM and IET. Professor Kyriacou is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Chartered Physicist (CPhys) and Chartered Scientist (CSci). Prof Kyriacou holds many Editorial leadership positions in various prestigious journals. Currently he is Editor-in-chief of the Elsevier journal Biomedical Signal Processing and Control.
