About
Murat Okandan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bioelectronics and space power systems, whose work spans from the microscopic to the lunar scale. His most impactful contribution lies in engineering microscale systems for fully autonomous intracellular neural interfaces, a 2020 paper with 79 citations that addresses the critical challenge of scalability in neural recording. By developing tiny, self-contained electrode systems capable of penetrating individual neurons, Okandan’s work promises to revolutionize how we study brain activity, moving beyond bulky conventional tools toward high-throughput, minimally invasive interfaces for both in vitro and in vivo applications. On a vastly different frontier, Okandan leads the development of the Lunar Array, Mast, and Power System (LAMPS) for Honeybee Robotics and mPower Technology, a deployable vertical solar array designed to provide reliable power at the lunar poles. This groundbreaking system leverages high-efficiency solar cells to support sustained human presence on the Moon, showcasing his versatility in tackling grand challenges from neural circuits to extraterrestrial energy. Okandan’s dual expertise—bridging bioelectronics and space infrastructure—marks him as a uniquely impactful innovator.
