Omid successfully defended his thesis titled “The Role of CMOS-Enabled Biomedical Devices in Digital Healthcare: from Real-time in-vivo Wireless Sensor Nodes to Biomarker Probe Synthesis.” Omid shared two exciting, highly innovative projects using CMOS chips for electrochemistry. The first, BioMote, is a sub-uW, fully self-contained injectable sensor for continuous analyte monitoring, and the second is a high-density DNA synthesis platform. He has a very impressive body of work, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Congratulations, Dr. Ghadami!

As has become a tradition in our research group, we celebrated with a chip cake.

It was a big day — Michael successfully defended his thesis titled “Magnetic Biosensors for Immunoassays and Enzymatic Activity Quantification,” and Michael’s first first-author paper was accepted! Michael shared two assays he developed based on giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensors. The first quantifies two biomarkers relevant to spontaneous preterm birth (link), and the second demonstrates the versatility of real-time enzyme-based release assays. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Congratulations, Dr. Sveiven!

Congratulations, Dr. Ying! Da successfully defended his thesis on electrochemical biosensor front-ends. Da will join Apple soon.

Congratulations, Dr. Zhou! Xiahan successfully defended his thesis on Magnetoresistive Biosensors. Check out some of his work here, here, and here. It was our group’s first “virtual” Zoom defense. Xiahan will start at Qualcomm soon.

Alex’s paper titled “Point‐of‐Care Smartphone‐based Electrochemical Biosensing” was among the top 10% most downloaded papers in the Electroanalysis journal last year! This article is a great summary of point-of-care mobile Health (mHealth) devices. Check it out!
