Alexander Boys is an Assistant Professor in the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College. Alex received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Cornell University. His PhD research focused on the study and construction of biological interfaces, which he pursued via an NIH F31 Fellowship. He specifically focuses on microscale registration of spatial chemical and mechanical mapping techniques. Using a framework developed from these analyses, he worked on constructing tissue engineered versions of these interfaces, recapitulating the interfacial elements. After graduating, Alex began a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Cambridge. There, he worked on using tissue engineering as an interface modality for placement of thin-film bioelectronic interfaces in neuroengineering contexts via an HFSP Cross-disciplinary Fellowship. Alex developed a neural interface for the gut, where he showed its capability to record down to single unit resolutions in the enteric nervous system. Alex is now the PI for the Regenerative Bioelectronics Lab at Dartmouth College and an NIH K-12 Green Scholar. His group studies fundamental cell-material interactions and the application of these systems in peripheral neural interfacing, specifically for the gut and the peripheral nervous system.
