New paper titled "Integrated System for Bacterial Detection and Biofilm Treatment on Indwelling Urinary Catheters” has been featured by IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)

Published research by University of Maryland scientists on a novel system to combat biofilm in urinary catheters has been named a featured article for November by IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME). The paper also has led to a recent patent application. The authors are alum Ryan Huiszoon (BIOE Ph.D. 2020), a senior process engineer at Facebook Reality Labs; alum Sangwook Chu (ECE Ph.D. 2018), a process engineer at Applied Materials; ECE Ph.D. students Jinjing Han and Justin Stine; UMD Research Associate Luke Beardslee; and Professor Reza Ghodssi (ECE/ISR). Huiszoon, Chu, Han and Stine are advisees of Dr. Ghodssi. “Integrated System for Bacterial Detection and Biofilm Treatment on Indwelling Urinary Catheters” represents substantial progress on a flexible biofilm detection and treatment system—UMD research that originally began in 2007. (02 - Nov/ 2021)
