Twenty years across silicon photonics, sensing systems, and microfabrication, guided by systems thinking and first principles
Wearable form factors, including patch pumps, dissolving microneedles, and silicon-photonics biosensors
Twenty years across silicon photonics biosensors, DNA sequencing platforms, dissolvable microneedle drug delivery, and precision optical spectroscopy. Sixteen patents, more than fifteen peer-reviewed publications cited 500+ times. Edison Silver Medal, Game Changer in Medical Technology (2010) for the Corium MicroJet needle-free injector.
Read the bio →Why this problem has taken a decade of serious industrial effort, what the binding constraints actually are, and why integration across disciplines (not depth in any single one) is what the work really requires.
Read the article →I led the engineering across the workstreams that had to converge (photonics and chip fabrication, biomolecule printing and multiplex assay development, modular fluidics, and a clinical-grade reader) for a saliva-based diagnostic that reached clinical validation. The program got there because we built a common language for naming and resourcing the interface problems between disciplines.
