He received his PhD degree in Manufacturing Engineering from Boston University, and joined OSU in 2006. He has led the Laboratory for Biomedical Microsystems since then. His research interests include the development of miniaturized devices to address unmet challenges in basic biological studies and point-of-case diagnosis. He is also interested in exploring the mechanical, material and fabrication issues involved in development of micro/nanodevices. He is a recipient of NSF CAREER awards. He is currently on the way to commercializing several technologies spun off from his research, including a wearable sensing system for rehabilitation assessment, and a bio-inspired device for endoscopic imaging.
