`Research leadership:
`Reilly Professor
`Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, School of Electrical and Computer
`Engineering, Purdue University – June ’05 (beginning as assistant professor) to present
`Research and teaching of bioelectricity and the modular design of biological implants in
`general and neural prosthetic devices in particular. Module types include those for: sensing
`biological activity, actuating a cellular or system response, transmitting and receiving data,
`and powering implantable systems of modules. These systems combined into distinct,
`application-specific integrated circuits and devices, enable scientists and clinicians working
`with our center to conduct high impact and hereto impracticable experiments. These
`systems are also developing novel avenues for the treatment of neural disorders through
`miniature, wireless, electronic prostheses. Specific research and clinical applications
`explored include: epilepsy, BCIs, addiction, glaucoma, and cardiology.
`Director
`Center for Implantable Devices – April ‘10 to present
`Founded Center for Implantable Devices (CID) to lead in the research, development, and
`translation of implantable medical devices through collaborations between Purdue faculty,
`and national and international clinical, and commercial partners. Grown in seven years to
`more than 20 faculty members, including five new hires, and over $30M in extramural
`funding.
`
`Administrative leadership:
`Associate Dean for Research and Innovation
`College of Engineering, Purdue University – May ’19 – June ‘19
`Leading interrelated research, innovation, and entrepreneurial efforts at the college level.
`Work towards formation of research institutes, centers of excellence, industry and defense
