Group Leader

Jose A. Garrido is an ICREA Research Professor and leader of the ICN2 Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group, which explores novel electronic materials, such as graphene and other 2D materials, and their potential in electronic and bioelectronic applications.

He received his Master’s and PhD degrees in Telecommunication Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in 1996 and 2000, respectively. From 2001 to 2004 he worked as a postdoc at the Walter Schottky Institute, Technische Universität München (Germany). He obtained his habilitation in experimental physics at this university in 2010 and from 2011 to 2015 held a lecturer (privatdozent) position at its department of physics. In 2015 Jose A. Garrido joined the ICN2 where, in addition to his role as Group Leader, he is Vice-Director and has been Head of the Strategy Development Office.

Jose A. Garrido has been co-leader of the Graphene Flagship biomedical technology work package, coordinating 14 teams from different countries to develop a new generation of neural interfaces based on graphene technologies. In addition, he is the coordinator of the European project BrainCom, in which 10 institutions from 6 countries participate in the development of a brain implant that allows verbal communication in patients with aphasia. He is also the coordinator of the i-VISION project funded by La Caixa Foundation, where 5 institutions join forces in the development of a retinal implant.

Jose A. Garrido is also founder of the ICN2 spin-off INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, funded in December 2019, where he is currently Chief Scientific Officer. The spin-off recently closed a Series A of 14,3 M€.
