Biography

Dr Sidahmed Abayzeed leads pioneering research directed at understanding charge dynamics in living systems using advanced optical approaches.

With over a decade of research and teaching experience, he established the UK’s first laboratory dedicated to charge-optics interfaces in 2019, developing innovative methodologies that bridge electrical engineering, optics, physical chemistry and life sciences.

Sidahmed’s research programme focuses on understanding charge dynamics at micro and nano scales, with particular emphasis on charge dynamics in health and disease.

To date, his work has resulted in breakthrough techniques including impedance microspectroscopy, plasmonic voltage imaging, and label-free electrophysiological imaging of living cell networks using a pancreatic beta-cell model.
