ValER Researchers

Prof. Wael El-Deredy graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1988 from Ain Shams University, Cairo (Egipt) and obtained his Ph. D. degree in Neurocomputing from the Imperial College, London (UK). 

In 2005 he was awarded a Lecturer position in Computational Neuroscience at the University of Manchester and became Professor of Cognitive Electrophysiology at the Faculty of Medicine in 2012. Since 2018, he is Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director of the Centre for R & D in Health Engineering at the University of Valparaiso (Chile).

Wael El-Deredy’s research applies engineering principles to neural systems, integrating biophysical modelling, signal processing, and probabilistic inference to understand brain dynamics. His research advances neuroengineering, brain-computer interfaces, and clinical applications by bridging biophysical and data-driven generative models of brain function.
