Young Wook Kim completed his M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in February 2011. In his thesis work, titled "An Atomic Layer Deposition Passivated Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor for Biofilm Growth Monitoring", Young presents the successful design, fabrication and testing of a reusable SAW sensor for multiple biofilm growth experiments. The sensing was also successfully performed in an animal serum tests which is critical for future implantable applications. Young is continuing his Ph.D. degree in ECE at UMD.
